D&D 4E Will 4E be announced at D&D Experience?

[Maggan]

The answer about 4e is.......NO. They have a lot of products scheduled through 2008.

That is surely a sure fire concrete example of an undeniable indication that all cards are on the table for an immediate and complete release of the fourth edition of D&D.

I mean, what else could it mean?

EDIT: Come to think of it, even before reading Abyssal Maw's excellent live update I was reminded of MacWorld. There's live updates there as well, and if WotC get a couple of D&D Experiences under their belt they'll probably improve on the presentations.

Another thing ... at MacWorld the audience cheers when products are announced. The D&D fan community cheers when product is NOT announced ... strange, really. That way every day is a happy day for a D&D fan, since 4i isn't announced that day!

Wolfgar, Drizzt, Icingdeath (Garg White Dragon).

Is that really confirmed? If it's done well, I would love to pick this one up!

I really only had one question about the production catalog (Drizz't scenario pack) and a few minutes later WotC posts everything I wanted to know on their site:

I think this is the link you meant, takasi.

And yay!

For the D&D mini players out there, I believe that the Drizzt and Wulfgar minis will be tournament legal. I'm not sure if the Drizzt mini is a new mini or just a resculpt though.

New mini, from what I understand.

Cheers!

Hey all!

No pics of the Gargantuan White Dragon mini yet?

D&D needs a Steve Jobs. I mean who is really in charge of D&D? Whoever it is, we never hear from him.

Indeed. Its weird that we hear more from Charles Ryan and Ryan Dancey then the current D&D Brand Manager. Heck, I don't even know who it is...

D&D needs a Steve Jobs. I mean who is really in charge of D&D? Whoever it is, we never hear from him. We used to have Gary Gygax as da man. Then we had Peter Adkinson. These were BIG IDEA kind of people that when they spoke, people listened. WOTC and D&D seems faceless these days.

D&D definately needs a big Jobs-like announcement to end XP with. It just seems like a waste to have their own con without something...

"One more thing..."

It's good to see the official word on this. I must admit I was surprised to see these rumors coming so strongly this time. Why would you be releasing a rules compendium if the whole system was going to be updated in three or four months?

You wouldn't, because you can release a 3.0 to 3.5 magnitude revision under the guise of a "Rules Compendium," making it a near-mandatory purchase while keeping the faith with fans who say they don't want to buy D&D again, but will buy the RC anyway.
