[QUOTE="Wik, post: 3739723, member: 40177"] Maybe I missed it somewhere, but it seems like no one's mentioned the most interesting part about this: 1) Mearls writes a book (IRON HEROES) where the PCs live in a default setting that suggest civilizations are surrounded by dark wilderness. 2) Mearls starts working for Wotc, and, later, the 4e development process. 3) Suddenly, the default setting for D&D is very similar to that of Iron Heroes. Personally, I think this new implied setting is the biggest sign of who is involved in the game's creation. It's almost like Mike left his own personal stamp on it. I don't really care about it one way or the other, though. I think it'll be a fine read, and perhaps a bit better than the greyhawk info in the 3.5 PHB (though I liked the greyhawk deities in the PHB! I really like Wee Jas nowadays!). But I have no intention of actually using it, just like I never ran a game in Greyhawk when I play 3.5. [/QUOTE]
