[QUOTE="billd91, post: 3982763, member: 3400"] I wouldn't move the timeline forward any more than, say, 10 years. Enough to put a few changes into the timeline. As far as things like dragonborn, they can come out of the west, from past Baklunish lands. Another wave of migration, so to speak, into the area of the Flanaess. We know there's a lot more land mass out there that wasn't solidly defined in any publication. Any shift to 4E gives us a chance to define elements of that. For that matter, the whole land mass west and the undefined nature of much of Oerth is a great source to explain anything new to GH since 1e. New alchemical items are available? A great exploratory expedition returned from over the sea bringing new technology! Explanation from that point is easy. I haven't read much about things like feywild or any of that but new stuff can just be explained as something that's never been a factor before, or something previously secret. I did that with dwarven wizards/sorcerers. They had [i]always[/i] been there, but they are very secretive about their existence. I tied that in with a secret motivation for the dwarves to participate in the Hateful Wars to bring the Lortmils out from under humanoid control too. [/QUOTE]
