My thoughts on WOTC saying "we'll give you a leat a years notice" saying at GenCon.

Leisure Suit D&D?

That would sell like hot cakes.

Ah, you miss the true evil of WotC's intentions...

5th edition comes out next week, giving 4th edition a complete miss!

The Auld Grump, well, it worked for Paranoia...

Not so much for Leonard Part 6....

Worst. Movie. Evar!

You know with all these threads on message boards about 4e wizards might actually start to think it's a good idea.

All it took was an NPC to say "Blasphemy" and we went back to 3.0 with minor tweaks to Heal, Harm and Haste.

What's wrong with 3.5 Blasphemy? It's the first version of that spell that made any sense IMO.

I think a year's notice is fair, and I don't think we'll hear it anytime soon.

Not so much for Leonard Part 6....

And Star Wars part IV.

Oh wait....

No save, and the minimum effect is that you're dazed for a round. Combine this with a creature having the ability to cast Blasphemy at will (e.g. a Balor or a Pit Fiend), and a bunch of minions to hack at the dazed PCs, and things get nasty.

The three counterparts to Blasphemy instead have "deafened" as the minimum effect, which is a LOT less nasty than being dazed.

As soon as you see a fully-functional, useful, useable, customisable etc... PC-based character generator with WotC's imprimatur then you know that 4th edition is on the way.

Core Rules marked the end of 2E; its equivalent will be 3.xE's tombstone.

So, you're saying that we have nothing to worry about?
