Hello All.
The announcement of 4th Edition is a pretty big event for all RPG fans. It's a huge event for all of us at Wizards of the Coast, including WotC staff and our WizO support team. We understand that this is something many of you are going to feel very passionate about in a number of ways.
We've created this forum for few reasons. We want everyone to have a single discussion forum where they can get answers and information directly from the D&D staff. We also want to prevent the other forums from being overwhelmed with 4E posts to the point that it drowns out any of the natural discussion in those areas. Additionally, I want to have a single forum where our community can post their hopes, fears, concerns, and dreams about 4E. This will make it easier for the D&D staff to read community feedback, and to (hopefully) provide a lot of answers to your questions.
The WizOs will be moderating this forum and others. They are acting on the direction of Wizards of the Coast, so if you're upset with their moderation, please don't take it out on the WizOs. Their goals will be clear: Keep 4th Edition discussion in the 4E forum. This might mean locking threads and/or moving posts.
If you have concerns, questions, or issues about the forum moderation taking place after the 4th Edition announcement, I've created a thread here where you may discuss your concerns.
Finally, please try to be respectful in your posts and comments. Be nice to other posters, the WizOs, and WotC staff. The WizOs will be enforcing all Code of Conduct rules on all forums as usual.
If you have any suggestions or ideas on how I can do a better job of helping to facilitate communication between the D&D Staff and the Community, I've created a thread here.
Thanks!
-Mike

| I guess the cat's totally out of the bag now. It's really a shame. I've spent the past hour or so
reading stuff on enworld....Funny, it's a hugely active forum, but I've never been there before.
Anyway, I'm quoting from a member there who summed it up as good or better than I could have
(even considering the state of my "Group" at the moment)
From Devyn at EN World:
WotC has proven over the last few months that they either ...
1- do not know what my gaming group is looking for when it comes to our hobby and the support we
would like to have
2- are aware of what we are looking for and have decided that we are no longer their target market
Either way it appears clear that they are out of touch with me, my gaming groups and most of the gamers I
know.
For me, 3.5 is a solid system with many outstanding adventures and settings that still remain unexplored.
Why would I want to give my money to a gaming company so out of touch ? | |

| EN World is a great community. You should really visit more often if you are interested in the RPG side of D&D minis. It's certainly a lot more mature and civilised place to be than the WotC boards!

Perfectly sums up how me and my group feel...abandoned once again...

It has definite value, however I have much too much grognard in me to ever embrace ENworld fully. I prefer Dragonsfoot.org
I just wish it got half the traffic that ENworld does.

| Here's an important question...
Will 3.5 still have an OGL? If so, maybe we can say "screw you WotC" and only support people like Paizo who continue to put out 3.5 material.
(Do not flame me for suggesting Paizo. I'm simply using them as an example.)

Why would Paizo, or any company, for that matter, support a dead game? (dead meaning no new official content)
And, I would not be surprised to see the 4E OGL eliminate any OGL for 3.5 products.
