Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

[drothgery]

They'll be back in full PC form before the Eberron Campaign Guide. So I'll barely notice that they were sort-of gone.

 

[Dragonhelm]

When I use gnomes, they're tinkers. They see the most use in Dragonlance and Spelljammer. I'm sorry to see them go in the 4th edition PHB I, but I suspect we'll see their return in the PHB II as part of the expanded core. It's just a way to condition the consumer into thinking that the core is continuous.

 

[Stone Dog]

Oh no. I'll have to go to another book I'm already going to buy to get gnome info. Whatever shall I do.

 

[DrunkonDuty]

Laughing. Just like David Bowie ni the his (in)famous song: The Laughing Gnome. Hope this link works.

Ah hell, just cut and paste it.

 

[Michael Silverbane]

Oh no. I'll have to go to another book I'm already going to buy to get gnome info. Whatever shall I do.

Weep with the grief of a thousand widows?

[CruelSummerLord]

I'll be weeping. Why even get rid of them in the first place?

It makes no sense.

 

[Vigilance]

They'll be in the damn monster manual. How far are they going?

 

[sunrisekid]

I don't see what the big deal is, the odds of gnomes being included in a future Races text is pretty much a given. If after upgrading your campaign to 4E you simply *must* play a gnome then just shoe-horn the version you want (from whatever previous iteration of D&D) and give 'er. Fact is, by virtue of adapting something to your needs you're more likely to create something that fits closer to what you want than merely relying on the outcome of a published work.

 

[Aus_Snow]

They're in the PHB, so neither (i.e., the 3rd option.)

 

[Nifft]

As a filthy red-boxer

I feel that I must recommend clean briefs. Do wonders for the constitution.

Also, I won't be at that party. Gnomes left my game years ago, by choice of my players.
