| #1StoyrmMay 19, 2008 6:22:13 | I'm just posting a quick question What is the last news about the year which 4th ed starts in? Did they really fast forward 100 years? Can't seem to find anything.Thank you on beforehand. |
| #2iakhovasMay 19, 2008 8:17:15 | Yes, the date for the 4E Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide is 1479 DR, Year of the Ageless One. Check out the following Countdown to the Realms articles for more information: Year of the Ageless One Magic in the Forgotten Realms Spellplague: The Wailing Years |

| #4markustay63May 19, 2008 9:11:28 | Depending on how you look at it - The campaign has been moved forward 104 years from the 'current' year, but only 94 years from the official end of 3e in the GHotR (1385). Etheir way, the new date is 1479 DR. Do we have an exact year for the Orc King prologue? ![]() |
| #5rinonalyrna_fathomlinMay 19, 2008 11:06:40 | Do we have an exact year for the Orc King prologue? From what I recall, the text doesn't mention an actual date, all it says is that the events in the prologue take place 100 years after the events in the bulk of the novel (which is probably 1372 DR--the RAS books are a bit behind on the official timeline). |
| #6StoyrmMay 20, 2008 8:16:37 | My god. really? i thought they skipped forward to 1390 or something. Didn't know they were jumping this far. Not sure if i liked that move, but i guess things can happen . |
| #7rinonalyrna_fathomlinMay 20, 2008 8:49:37 | Not sure if i liked that move, but i guess things can happen The "time-jump" is a controversial issue, that's for sure. |
| #8msatranMay 20, 2008 14:25:35 | Rino, since you play in the NJFRCC game, I'll put this bluntly. You are the most mild-mannered gamer I have ever met. If you were Wonder Woman, after that comment, I would never suspect you.That was the biggest understatement ever! |
| #9lord_karsusMay 20, 2008 15:04:38 | My god. really? i thought they skipped forward to 1390 or something. Didn't know they were jumping this far. Not sure if i liked that move, but i guess things can happen -AGHotR skips forward to 1385, as the current date is 1375, but the official 4e setting will go above and beyond that. |
| #10zaeshirMay 20, 2008 15:19:58 | I seem to be one of the few in favor of the time jump, but then again I think that's largely because I'm *so* behind on my novel reading that I'd rather have the slate wiped clean. I harbor no ill will towards those who don't like it. I fully understand ![]() |
| #11rinonalyrna_fathomlinMay 20, 2008 18:47:10 | Rino, since you play in the NJFRCC game, I'll put this bluntly. ![]() ![]() I'll take that as a compliment.:D |
| #12rinonalyrna_fathomlinMay 20, 2008 18:48:28 | I seem to be one of the few in favor of the time jump, but then again I think that's largely because I'm *so* behind on my novel reading that I'd rather have the slate wiped clean. How does it make a difference? The old novels are still canon. And, many of them are actually good reads. |
