4th edition!
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome
Hmm...
EDIT: On second thought, 4th edition may not come out. GenCon is 4 days long. It is tomorrow, I think.Last edited by Thrivol; 2007-08-15 at 07:06 PM.

Re: 4th edition!
Ahh, I see the end of the world has a nifty "count down clock" on the Wizards of the Coast web site.

Re: 4th edition!
So... is this supposed to be a countdown to fourth edition or something? I haven't heard any hype to this extent...

That's the point...you do something unexpected on the Internet and it's generally more effective than having to do your own marketing. Viral advertising, you know.
Is it just me, or is anyone else having Eon8 flashbacks?

I'll believe it when i see it. Though perhaps they'll mention a release date at gencon if anything... Originally Posted by GryffonDurime

Maybe it's something to do with the d4.

Re: 4th edition!
I've been saying to myself for the past year "Don't buy any new books, as soon as 4th Edition comes out you'll have wasted your money.", so I kind of wish it is 4th, so I can finally stop using the SRD.

Re: 4th edition!
I'd be surprised if 4th edition is coming out, 3e came out only 7 years ago, and 3.5 even less then that.
I have mixed feelings about the concept of 4th edition. On the one hand I really feel D&D needs a rewrite and a fresh start, time has shown that 3e is poorly balanced and rather difficult at times. WotC has shown some steps in the right direction design wise with products like the Tome of Battle, but in order to "fix" D&D they would need another edition.
On the other hand, I really don't want to shell out 90 bucks for three more rulebooks."Sometimes, we’re heroes. Sometimes, we shoot other people right in the face for money."

There seem to be 2 instances of possibly meaningful 4's. But other than that, not much.

Re: 4th edition!
It's most likely the all new Electronic Format. They've been talking about it for a while and it's been discussed over on Enworld with regard to Wizards putting out invitations to the media.

It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Yeah, but when the graphics of the page are bedecked in dice all rolling a 4...it implies that there's a pretty strong 4 connection. Originally Posted by Arbitrarity

Re: 4th edition!
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I would feel fine if I'd spent less money on ****ing sourcebooks over the last year.

Re: 4th edition!
It's probably GenCon (4 days long) or some neat trick with the d4. Probably a publicity stunt playing off false hopes, is my bet. Originally Posted by Nerd-o-rama

Re: 4th edition!
I'd have to go with something about the online inititive, and some loose connection to the concept of four dimensions...
I'm not a betting man, however, at least when it comes to my opinions
Edit: maybe 4e will be a d4 based system....
No, I do not seriously believe that.Last edited by Bosaxon; 2007-08-15 at 08:22 PM. Reason: Even crazier theory!!!!!

90 Bucks if we're lucky. I wouldn't be surprised to see core rulebooks go for $50 or more. Originally Posted by TheOOB

Re: 4th edition!
I think they are just using the 4 to represent A in Adventure. I'm not getting anything on that page right now though.

Re: 4th edition!
Hmmm... there's brand-new art in the background... and it somehow looks bookish, so it could very well be something print-based
Colour me interested... at least, I want to see that timer on zero - NOW!

Alot is not a word. It's a lot, two words.
Always use the proper tool. If the proper tool isn't available, try a hammer.

Re: 4th edition!
On second thought, 4th edition may not be half bad. 3.5 is becoming bloated. Look at Pun-Pun, the hulking hurler, and all the other incredibly broken builds.
I could sell all my books, get a good amount of money for it, and save the money for when 4th edition does come out (which will probably be in a year or so).
