3e was released.

So?

Flocks of birds flying south in the summer, comets in the sky and especially fuzzy caterpillars.

Kudos!

I think you've covered it all here

So?

Ehhh, I tried to make a joke ... because this is a humorous thread?

Like, everyone is interpreting everything that WotC does as a sign of 4e, so I thought I'd go straight for the mother of all evidence that 4e is coming. Sort of to contrast that to all the other "WotC releasing this book is a sure sign of 4e".

Hence, "3e is the number 1 sign that 4e is coming" (paraphrased).

Also, I was hoping to lampoon the "it's coming real sooooon" by pointing out that 4e has been coming real soon since the release of 3e.

But since I have to make a lenghty explanation of an admittedly weak joke, I guess it didn't communicate as well as I would have liked.

That's the rub of it.

That there are so much speculation about 4E that Hasbro starts thinking we want it?

18) The relentless release of as many 3.5 books as possible before 4E is released. :\

Judging from the past, we have about 3-4 more years before 3.5 becomes obsolete. That's part of the reason that I don't really get excited about the new books. They're smoke and ash already. The same data will have to be re-released again with 4E on the cover, so what's the point?

I love D&D, but I don't like feeding my money to WotC in massive fist-fulls just so I can stay current with the rest of the world. Computers are one thing, but I don't really see a need to "upgrade" 3.5, especially when there will probably not only be a 4E, but a 4.5 as well. :\ Give us another ten years of 3.5, please.

Well, *I* thought it was funny.

This is getting scarily close.

19) Robert Jordan finishes the Wheel of Time series. That's the 6th trumpet to sound, followed shortly by 4E's 7th.
