D&D 4E What will happen to ENWorld when 4E is released?

[Vigilance]

People will start speculating on 5e, of course!

I heard from a source deep inside WOTC, who of course must remain totally anonymous that 5e will use special character cards with RFID tags that have to be scanned by the new DS Super Lite each time you gain a level so your character can grow in power.

The blood of the nonbelievers shall flow like tapioca in the streets, gamers shall consort with aardvarks and those left alive shall indulge in "Bones" re-runs until The Rapture.

 

[gamecat]

Enworld will go down in flames.

And I'll be able to actually get things done at work.

Our heads asplode.

Then we'll start talking about 4E. And 3E, and 2E, and 1E, and OE. Kinda like we do now.

 

[RainOfSteel]

The blood of the nonbelievers shall flow like tapioca in the streets, gamers shall consort with aardvarks [...]

Aha!

Thus two age-old questions shall be answered.

1) What tapioca is like when it flows in the streets?

2) What adventuring with Cerebrus is like?

*Scene: an administrator's office, somewhere.*

Hmm. 4th edition is rolling out?

*He looks at the EN world source code*

Ahh, here we go.

*He types a few lines of code*

There, now the main page reads "Welcome to ENWorld, your unofficial headquarters for Dungeons and Dragons, 4th edition."

*He gets up to get some more mountain dew*

Nothing will happen save that we'll see a lot more use of the 4E tag. Unless for some reason WoTC totally goes insane, the vast majority of people will switch to the new system regardless of lack of gnomes, lack of classes, all-anime art, or a vp/wounds system. It's happened with the other editions and it'll happen with the next one.

 

[Morrus]

I know exactly what will happen!

1) EN World will get really busy.

2) It will continue reporting on D&D news - which means 3.5 and 4E and d20. We'll probably have a 4E specific news section.

The blood of the nonbelievers shall flow like tapioca in the streets, gamers shall consort with aardvarks and those left alive shall indulge in "Bones" re-runs until The Rapture.

And lo, the streets will run red with blood and the people shall rise up and overthrow their opressors. Their shall be war and famine and all manner of writings shall be destroyed. The written word shall be no more save for a few worn copies of AD&D found in basements scatterred across the torn land. Then the great EGG shall come forth to lead the people to the true way! And their will be much rejoicing.
