I own Iron Kingdoms setting for D&D 3.5 but I'm wondering if Privateer Press will consider a transition to 4th edition. Does anyone know?

Thanks,

-Adam

Jun 13, 2008 12:26:16 This is a question better asked on the forums at Privateer Press, the publishers of Iron Kingdoms and Warmachine. I haven't been there in a while, but I'm certain the topic has already been brought up and addressed. I do know that they were able to extend there license (or however that works) to publish 3.5 material and will continue to do so into the near future (as mentioned in a recent No Quarter magazine, their own publication covering their RPG and miniatures war game).

Hope this helps!

Aren't they more or less giving up supporting the RPG in favor of the minis lines?

IK is my favorite setting, and while I like 4E I don't think it would work well in IK. All the powers, etc. don't sit well with me in that setting.

Jun 15, 2008 19:32:44 I've seen their forums a few days ago while I admit that there is confusion whether Privateer will press on with 4th edition orr produce their own 'system' to fit in with the game play or use version 3.0/3.5.

I thought the Iron Kingdoms book was beautifully produced and offers a lot of great campaign material. Unless, Privateer produces a 'conversion' booklet to allow the transition to 4th edition, that may make a lot of sense if they offer it without the need of a major re-write.

Jun 17, 2008 0:18:37 I'm in total agreement, Sanctum, regarding the beauty of the IK line. I would hate to see it come to an end (I'm only missing the Witchfire hardcover - I have the original three paperbacks - and the Monsternomicon II), but the info in No Quarter Magazine suggests that the line may end when their access to a 3.x license expires. Again, there's more info out there than I have read, so I hope there's a light at the end of the tunnel regarding some form of continuation with an IK RPG.
