Yeah thanks i forgot that

It's published for 1e.
It's a boxed set containing two books, four large color maps, and plastic hex overlay. The same format as FR gray boxed set.

When I start publishing the articles (released one at a time, a'la the Elven Netbook), I do plan on having a passage about 'recent events' for 4e players, but I don't know the rules well enough to provide 4e mechanics).
I assume, at some point, someone (3rd party?) will come out with an OA for 4e, and then we will see what is what.
Are there any plans for 4e Oriental Adbentures rules does anyone know?
-As in supplemental rules for 4e? Maybe. Probably, eventually. As in an update for Kara-Tur? There's a slim chance, but it isn't likely, based on the fact that in 3e there was no Kara-Tur specific material because it was judged that the profits didn't warrant the publishing costs, for WotC. Generally speaking, nothing's changed.
Which most-likely includes Kara-Tur.
They will not be publishing any setting which they have to pay the Gygax family royalties on.
Which most-likely includes Kara-Tur.
-It's owned by TSR/WotC. It didn't receive any sourcebooks in 3e specifically about it, but it has received plenty of mentions and "easter eggs" in sourcebooks and novels.
Kara-Tur is something that was around for 1e, and since the game has come so far from it's "Gygaxian Roots", it would be counter-productive to create ties back to that earlier period.
At least, thats what I think he meant...
Zakhara may come-back, but not so much because of the massive number of people interested, but rather because they can just re-print old material with new 4e mechanics. Short-cuts like that seem to be the norm these days (why create, when you can borrow from the past?) It was dfone well-enough for them to at least consider it.
The only to I'd be willing to make bets on are Athas (Darksun) and Ravenloft, because both were winners with large followings (and unique-enough to actually warrant seperate settings).
Not sure about Dragonlandce - that seemed like a shoe-in just two years ago, but now it seems they aren't interested in using it (they continued their contract with Weiss - something they didn't do with other settings and 3rd parties). Who knows how that will go? I don't think DL can withstand another edition/setting change, personally.
Mystara's a possibility - it was damned good - but its a lot like FR and GH, so it may be scrapped due to redundancy. Then again, perhaps not... I could actually see myself running a 4e Mystara campaign...
