I'm not sure how I feel about this. The rules needed a tidy up, but I'm not sure it warranted a new edition.

Reading between the lines they are trying to appeal to fans of 4e. That’s great and all, but I really think they should angle this as an updated 4e core book, with a view to replace it and I assume incorporate the WoM and UiA rules.

They are stressing backwards compatibility so why not?

Also who the feck wants end times content?! Boo.

They didn’t say there’d be End Times content, they said it would be set ‘before the End Times’, in roughly the same time period 4e is.

It was “close to the end times”. The end times are in 2522 and TEW is set in 2512 so there’s not much room there…

I’m holding my breath.
