D&D 3.x SHOULD 4e Come, WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR EN WORLD? THE 3e SITE???

We'd have a 4e forum for a while. Then we'd switch things so that 4e is the default assumption. Eventually 3e and 4e threads will happily co-exist, differentiated by thread tags.

Buh-buh-but you said you loved 3e.........!

I loved 2e, too. And 1e before that.

It's okay, 'lil soldier. There, there. *pat, pat*

And by "eventually" do you mean "five years from now after the flamewars sputter out"?

I wonder if we'll see any "third party" (as it were) 4E Rumorzzz!!! sites popping up, or if everything will be confined to here. Thus far, it seems like it, but I can't help but feel nostalgic for the days before ENWorld when Eric Noah's 3E Rumor page was but one of a handful of sites that were posting them as they came out/were scooped.

Obviously, the field of interest and coverage of D&D has changed substantially since then, but if any sort of 4E involves playtesting on the level that 3E did, I would imagine that rumors would be all over, and it might be interesting to see some upstart sites try and find their footing.

And, since such rumors aren't all over, that would speak to no such playtesting at this time...

That being said, in my experience Eric Noah's original site was a bit unique in the quality and volume of its content. I think it was a bit of a fluke that it came off as it did, and grew to such amazing size. Now, with more and bigger sites around, I think it would be a bit difficult for a new site to do the same thing - sort of like a new company suddenly cropping up and beating WotC and White Wolf...

Which is to say that it isn't impossible, but I think it unlikely...

He hides his 3E books under his hat of d02.

ask him about his dice and minis.

i'm sure diaglo will be here when 4ed comes and goes as he was for 1ed, 2ed, etc...

Well, for now we have a 4E news page. I think as stuff comes in, we'll have a lot of focus on 4E - when it happens.

It's very odd to talk about yourself in the third person, you know.
