WotC_Rodney on Ari M. and Al Qadim

[Keefe the Thief]

No, it wasn't. I'm not sure how anyone can take that statement seriously with you calling Wizards "Pokemon Inc." It's like slagging someone who likes Windows by saying they sided with "Micro$haft."

Nobody took seriously what he said.

(That, and "pistols at dawn" implies a fair fight, which I'm no good at. )

You're a vampire. You're not supposed to engage in a fair fight; you're supposed to stalk the night, slip in as a bat or a cloud of mist, sap your enemies' will with your mesmerizing gaze, and drain their blood at your leisure.

Granted, in previous versions of D&D, that last part has typically been replaced by "eat their levels by engaging them in a slap-fight".

Slap Fight before Dawn - sounds like the last song a metal band writes before they officially become un-metal.

Just to add my 2 cents (in case WotC's setting dev dept is listening), I would seriously love a good Al Quadim 4E treatment. I'm not sure if I'd prefer a full-on setting (like Zakhara) or a "Arabian Adventures 4E" book with some good classes (Sha'ir!!!) and an implied setting (like the 4E Core rules) (probably the latter), but either way - rock on. I'd pay Ptolus money for that.

Agreed.

Any Al-Qadim that's not officially linked to FR gets my money. A sometime scholar of Arabian myth, I'd pounce on it.

Any that are linked to FR get me in a slap-fight with the devs.

That's like saying, "Any D&D that's not officially linked to FR gets my money."

That's YOUR logic. :\

I used AQ stuff pretty extensively for my CONAN-Sandstorm-SHEM campaign. It had some nice product and the adventures were easy to run.

Definitely.

I couldn't agree more.

I'd pay Ptolus money for that.

Um, no.

No, he could be taken as saying that any D&D that is linked to FR doesn't get his money.

Personally, I'd like a link to another "setting", FR or whatever, so we can have foreigners turning up from time to time to provide a bit of contrast.

However, it needs to be a setting in which the Al Qadim deities and cosmology can fit, which I don't think FR meets very well (especially the new, improved, "now with fewer gods" version).
