[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2106773, member: 14159"] Technical correction: 3e wasn't released at "Gen Con Indy" because Gen Con was still being held in Milwaukee at the time, but it was released at Gen Con in 2000, and the first public announcement of it was at Gen Con '99. But to answer the original poster: 4e is the perrennial unfounded rumor that WotC will chuck out everything we like about 3.x and come up with a new, expensive, unproven system just because they can. 4e is the fear that they'll throw things out in a blatant cash grab to get us to buy new books, even if it's just making superfluous changes. While WotC apparently has no plans for it, the fear is that they will get in trouble with their Hasbro corporate masters, get desperate, and churn out a 4e well before it's time hoping to get people to buy new books. 3.5e fuelled this by coming out what seemed to be far too quick to many eyes. If WotC ever did announce a 4e, you can bet there would be a lot more talk about it than the isolated rumors and discussions you're seeing here. [/QUOTE]
