Following
on the heels of its successful, yearlong "Countdown to Third Edition"
promotion for the new version of its Dungeons & Dragons game,
Wizards of the Coast announced today that it would begin the "Countdown
to Fourth Edition," which is due out April 1, 2011. A Wizards spokesperson,
citing continuing strong sales of third edition D&D, said
the company decided that "ten times the countdown," should
result in "ten times higher" sales of Fourth Edition. Though
initially reticent on the issue, former D&D Brand Manager
Bryan Rancey admitted (after we poured salt on his wounds) that the
Fourth Edition countdown was beginning. "Yeah. Sure. Whatever,"
said Rancey. "Let me go." Sources say that the new edition
will use the revolutionary d30 system, but this is, as yet, unconfirmed. | |

| 4th edition is already here. Many of the new books are oriented towards establishing alternate rules systems and ways to play D&D. Why release a new set of "Core Books" when you can just release each new set of rules as its own book?
Welcome to 4th edition D&D, pick your flavor!

| I agree with Shasack.
For me, 4th Edition is called "Iron Heroes."
It has a separate magic book, which is called "True Sorcery."
Yet, it uses a ton of my D&D 3.5 books as well. How cool is that? | |

| 2011! I dont think our collections have anything to worry about. lol
D30 would seem odd though. Getting a crit would be even harder | | | |

| | With using the d30, they can let characters use the same dice to roll for attacks as they do to remember the day of the month. | |
