[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5432691, member: 64209"] Here's the idea (which was inspired by another thread): Both the spellplague in the Forgotten Realms and 4e as a system were pretty big jumps (I THINK we can agree on that). What if WotC were to publish a "bridge"? I'm talking about two things here, but my vision is that they'd be used together: 1. Thing one: Playing during the Forgotten Realms spellplague. Watching/participating/causing the deaths of major FR characters...roleplaying events...destroying and building canon. 2. Thing two: What about a hybrid of 3e and 4e? I'm thinking something that smells like SAGA edition starwars mixed with Book of Nine Swords and some neat 4e implementations (such as minions, solo BBEGS, etc). Basically, pull the best of both editions. For thing two, it might even be fun to have a "decay" mechanic simiar to "taint" wherein characters evolved along the way from 3e to 4e, based on decisions and such. Alternately, they could have "stages" in which you played a 3e character, a 3/4 character, and then a 4 character...maybe all in the same boxed set? So, there it is. Would this be something you'd be interested in? (as an additional note for discussion, this MIGHT be a way for WotC to release a new edition...a hybrid edition to heal/reunite the fractured community, without calling it 5e. That could be a good or bad thing...but it's a consideration.) [/QUOTE]
