I'm just wondering why there aren't any 4e novels around? There is the Spell-Plague series but nothing that seems to be true to the 4e rule set (or at least that I've been able to easily find).

I think novels with good storylines would go a long way to convince the 4e nay sayers that the system isn't just a minitures wargame but an actual role playing game where story is important and can be carried.

I'm working on something myself but I'm no real author and really don't have the time or ability to do justice to the project, it's just as a hobby for me.

You might want to wait for the third book to come out before you pick up the series. It is very good, though.

Jul 22, 2009 9:04:10 I have been reading the Dragonlance Bridges of Time books and they seem to have a 4th edition flavor to them. Three of the four books released have come out since 4th edition. Some of the combats seem very much power based.

Jul 22, 2009 15:42:50 My mistake. The books I am referring to are the "Anvil of Time" series started by Tracy Hickman. These books are less than one year old and seem to be utilizing 4th edition powers.
