[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 3982825, member: 840"] I think putting some significant distance between the current era and 4e in the long run will prove to be a good idea. It allows enough breathing room time for as big an upheaval the setting is going to need to spice up the setting and draw in new players again. It allows new cities and castles to be built, the changes in magic to take place, nations to fall and new ones to rise and time to incorporate the new races (like the Dragonborn and the Tieflings) in such a way that it isn't all happening in an absurdly short amount of time. Also, there is so much [I]"strong opinion"[/I] about how things should be "now", that at least with a buffer of 100 years it'll be a lot easier to smooth over changes. As far as the LG work goes - it becomes a part of history and can help shape the future. I've heard though that there are copyright concerns or some other legal issues with most (but not all) of the fan-created material so it may be a moot point anyway. AoW & ST are great, but they could probably use the 100 years to recover! :lol: Yeah, Iuz has been taking in on the chin long enough that he needs to take on a more subordinate role in GH.
