"...one of the new key conceits about the D&D world is simply this: Civilized folk live in small, isolated points of light scattered across a big, dark, dangerous world." from this article on the wizards site.
I have to wonder what affect this will have, developing 4E with this conceit which is contrary to the way things are done in my own campaign world and all the good ones I've played in. Heroshi has its share of monster-haunted wilderness, but most of it is, in fact, carved up between nation-states that jealously enforce their borders. It's sounding more like they're

selling Final Fantasy than Middle Earth. What does this indicate to me? More random encounters! It'll be like Diablo [which I never finished] all over again!

So now that 4th edition is announced and for as long as D&D Insider is free, I'll have my free account under the username Shadowsnipe. Haven't played with it much, but it'd be good to make initial networking contact with each other via usernames. If you have one / make one edit this and add your account name.

Will - Shadowsnipe

Adam - Axcalibar

Clifton - Butcher_Jackson

Added Adellefried Swordbreaker, the gnome goddess of diplomacy and Nimis the wererat god

of gluttony. Also, look at the Dungeon Disciple prestige class I worked up while feeling particularly cooky. 

More upcoming deities:

LN Oath Enforement Dude

LE Greedy Tyrant (contrast with Drand, the power-hungry tyrant)
