However, many of the gamers I know locally in the Chicago area did start speculating on a 4th edition?Maybe some store owners and gaming industry professionals might like to chime in on this thread? Thanks to everyone for their opinions.  It seems that EN World has no shortage of good ideas.</blockquote>
