[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3754654, member: 18280"] I should have been more specific. An individual on this board (and I kick myself for not subscribing to the thread so that I could bring it up now!) stated that he had inside knowledge through a third party that 4th Edition was definitely coming. In wake of Paizo's license to produce Dragon and Dungeon, and announcement of the DI, this seemed rather plausible. Thereafter, a person affiliated with running this board stated that he got an email from WotC, and it was definitely a hoax. We didn't see that email, and it is therefore possible that it was worded so as to [i]imply[/i] that 4e wasn't coming without actually [i]saying[/i] so. It is also possible that one might trust WotC more than EN World. Either way, though, someone was pulling a fast one. There's an old saying that goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Add to that contradictory messages like [indent]You can shake your fists at the sky. You can do a rain dance. You can ignore the clouds completely. Given the circumstance you're in as a D&D player right now, those responses are all valid. But none of them move the clouds.[/indent] and [indent]The weird thing is that playing D&D is something that might move the clouds.[/indent] from this thread: [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=206483[/url], as well as the apparent lack of playtesting (no announcement for playtesters yet AFAIK) and I'd rather remain skeptical of what WotC is currently announcing than simply accept it at face value, thank you very much.
