Subforum Request

[Voss]

Could we possibly split the homebrew/custom 4e material off into its own subforum? Its nice that people want to do it and all, but its getting to the point its occasionally burying official news, rumors, scoops and discussion about the game itself. Partly because some folks are fairly vague about their thread titles: 'New <4e topic>!' shouldn't be homebrew stuff.

Thanks.

It's probably best to post this in Meta, so the admins don't miss it.

This is a topic for Meta - in fact there's a thread or two there about how things will eventually be subdivided once 4E hits in June. I'm going to move this there, and we're certainly interested in folks' ideas on the subject!

Seconded. Or just have some central threads for homebrew material. I don't mind that it's there, but everyone who posts doesn't need their own thread.

4E is less then 6 weeks away. So a temporary subforum may not be worth it.

BUT, when 4E hits, what does happen in rules, house rules, plots and places (which already has some 4E stuff in it)...are 4E subforums created? Are 3E subforums created?

In any case, I think what we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Think of it: the D&D rules forum + 4E. Actually, maybe its better not to.

Sorry for spamming?

But, yeah, I'll admit that it' be nice to post something and have it still on the front page 4 hours later. Ah well.

I agree. I personally like that 4e is easy to tweak, and I'll be doing it myself one day. For now, however, I don't care about everyone's special specific monsters and house rules. I am just looking for straight 4e info.

Perhaps we should just move over into the House Rules forum? Would also enliven it a bit!

Cheers, LT.

Or, if it's possible, maybe there could be two things done:

1) A "House Rules" topic tag in the 4E forum, and

2) Asking people to clearly delineate house rules threads, so they won't be confused with scoops.

It may be about time. We can always merge a 4e house rules forum into something else later if necessary. We'll chat about it.
