[QUOTE="paradox42, post: 3789393, member: 29746"] Not all that much, for at least a year I think. I have two games going right now- the primary game has been going 6 1/2 years (we started in the early days of 3.0), and oddly enough will be reaching a critical world event- potentially an apocalyptic one- right around the time 4E is set for release. At least, this is the case if in-game events proceed at the same pace they're going now for the next 6 real-world months or so. This event has been foreshadowed in the game plotline for years of real time, and my estimates for when it would be happening in our game sessions have varied over the years but recently settled onto about May or June of 2008. The event in question is set to a specific date on the game world's calendar and can't be altered, so it's a question of how quickly the PCs play through the intervening time- thus the timing of 4th Edition's release is a pretty amazing coincidence for my group. The secondary game might have been involved in that event, but a wild and unexpected plot turn a few months ago sent the characters careening back in time about 1800 years, so now the timelines have completely diverged and I have no idea where that one's going to end up in a few months. :D In both cases, 4E is not changing my plans, but the primary game arguably [b]could[/b] finish around the time of the release with no hard feelings on anybody's part. Not at all. Actually most are expecting me to convert, since I went to the trouble of converting the game over to 3.5 in mid-story- but due to the heavy presence of psionics in my homebrew I can't convert the world until the psionics material is available. Before then it would just be an exercise in futility. [/QUOTE]
