| #2thecasualoblivionDec 22, 2011 14:13:37 | Cat girls |
| #3EnglishLanguageDec 22, 2011 14:14:35 | Cat girls ....this |

| #5AbdulAlhazredDec 22, 2011 14:21:19 | Cat girls Fox girls would be fine too. Adventures. All sorts of them. |
| #6ZelkonDec 22, 2011 14:22:44 | Well, this thread has been productive so far. |
| #7SamrinDec 22, 2011 14:23:55 | Seeker support. |
| #8psikusDec 22, 2011 14:27:19 | Epic monsters and adventures. |
| #9blackknight1239Dec 22, 2011 14:28:18 | Seeker support. Haha, never. |
| #10AbdulAlhazredDec 22, 2011 14:28:49 | Epic monsters and adventures. I'll second the epic monsters, but I'd say epic ANYTHING. Epic adventures would be great. |
| #11SamrinDec 22, 2011 14:30:30 | Seeker support. I don't even like the class, but it's frustrating what they've done in regards to the Seeker and Runepriest (nothing). |
| #12rustam1Dec 22, 2011 15:08:49 | Cat girls Yes, both! |

| #14rian_kingDec 22, 2011 15:11:45 | Cat girls If they had this I would never play any game and may quit my job to play full time |

| #16GarthanosDec 22, 2011 15:57:10 | Epic Cat and Fox Girls.. err.. .I mean loads of Epic Support including a huge DMG with tastey bits. And maybe another tier gets added called Mythic when the Epic just isnt good enough. ... well it could happen. |
| #42Steely_DanDec 26, 2011 7:09:32 | The only difference between avenging paladins and avengers is the former's penchant for heavy armor. Aside from that they're religious zealots swinging big weapons. You shouldn't have to build a whole class around prefering lighter armor - I totally agree, the Avenger could be a Paladin subclass, the Seeker a Ranger subclass (I also think the Warden could have been a Ranger Defender subclass), the Shaman a Druid subclass etc. And I too have been thinking of pick a Power Source, pick a Role, and depending on what Role you pick, that could add Class Features and riders to certain Powers from the chosen Source. I mean, looking at the Arcane power source, you could pretty much have one class: Wizard, and all permutations thereof, could be subclasses (Artificer, Sorcerer, Warlock ec); maybe even go back to a 2nd Ed Groupings style set-up. |
| #43kalontasDec 26, 2011 7:46:26 | There's a whole lot of ideas 4th edition is able to do - apart from filling out either missing fan-favourite stuff from older editions (where are my Blues and playable Kobolds, I say? - or Book of Exalted Deeds for that matter), or filling out missing books that just ask to be released (Heroes of the Astral Sea, Heroes of the Far Realm, etc.), there is still a host of potentially great concepts that can be done. Underwater combat and underwater monsters and races (which are not just regular races with "aquatic" slapped in front of the name) - you can make whole worlds with that kind of climate. Or even release forgotten campaign settings, or make new ones. But they won't do it. Why? Because they're more content with bleeding Forgotten Realms dry. They're complacent with just hammering out the same product over and over again, because "it's popular", and not risking a new product. If humanity always had similar attitude - we would still live in caves, because Joe the Caveman would be too afraid of risking to start his own fire. You sometimes need to risk creating something new - because it may turn out great and sell far better than an overdone setting. I'm very afraid we will now see just filling out of certain niches, and have the edition end up very soon. I don't want it to happen, but seeing Forgotten Realms as a next year setting again is just crushing my hopes. |
| #44The_JesterDec 26, 2011 8:17:15 | I did some brainstorming on this issue, over on my blog. Without the benefit of a sounding board, I managed to easily think of 9 book (12 with some riskier books), which could easily carry 4e into the first quarter of 2014 (9 books, released one every 2 months, for 18 months of product). Slip a couple campaign settings in there and a could experimental books and we're covered until after GenCon 2014. If you start with the assumption "4e is exhuasted, what's left?" of course it gets hard thinking of books. But when you approach the problem "hey, what would I like to see more of?" or "what did they do in earlier editions that they haven't touched yet?" and ideas start opening up. You start thinking "what would a 4e update of Chronomancer look like? Is that a wizard build or a whole new power source?" And, BAM, you have a new book. |
| #45kalontasDec 26, 2011 9:14:55 | As I've read your blog, Jester, I agree that there are still a lot of potential ideas for future books. The thing is, will Wizards use them? Next year we're having another piece of Forgotten Realms for a campaign setting (as far as we know now), which doesn't bode well for the effort in creativity they're willing to make for the rest of this edition. |
| #46GarthanosDec 26, 2011 9:58:48 | Quite honestly "classes" without strong role corellation seem useless ie they seem like categories without bite ... might as well do that classless D&D and no I dont consider that good |
| #82sythspawnJan 08, 2012 1:24:33 | Why not a new approach on the minis? I like this idea. |
