[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 3724864, member: 94"] Part of the problem for me with Grim Tales II is that there is already so much excellent d20 design out there, most folks' needs are already met. It's pretty typical for me to see something like, "I just finished running my weekly Modern/Grim Tales/True 20/Conan game and..." So publishing Grim Tales II would be pretty much an exercise in just giving a few (very much appreciated) fans a chance to buy a book full of stuff they probably already have, or could easily design on their own, just to give them the satisfaction of having a book with Grim Tales 2 on the cover. And I think, to the extent that 4e must remain fairly specific to the D&D genre, you're going to see most of the best d20 design right there. Take all the good d20 stuff you've seen over the past 8 years, feed it through the WOTC design talent, and what do you get? (EDIT: Maybe you get Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project...) Now... that being said... 4e definitely has me chomping at the bit to do [i]something[/i]. In a perfect world I'd be working on 4e. :D There will probably be ample inspiration and ample room after 4e is released for me to do [i]something. [/i] Whether it will be GT2 or something more specifically "Fantasy Sweet Spot" I don't know. I just have to make sure I am not so distracted [i]playing[/i] 4e that I don't feel like doing any writing. [/QUOTE]
