It looks like a Photoshop job to me. That's what it is.

A photo with oddly selective blurring. Next question?

Definitely a con job, see the way the D20 logo is laid over the text instead of it flowing around it.

There's something going on. I was "told" to keep an eye open for an announcement but so far I've not seen anything? Any rumors?

I believe that was the April Fools joke from a few years ago. But I cant tell. Reguardless, its a fake.

If it WAS real, I guess it's true what they say about the Ides of March...

The old April fool's site is still on the web
here. It's not as slick as the screen shot shown above.

I'm guessing they're going to announce something an GAMA today or the next. What, I have no idea? Maybe someone is just "F"ing with us because they can. I dunno but the gaming report is at GAMA and they may have some news as it becomes available.

Maybe they're announcing a Fourth Edition to boost sales? Alot of they're core books are going out of print and a Fourth Edition seems to be in line with the industry's basic model.
Gurps 4th Edition
AD&D 3.0 then 3.5
Paranoia XP
Vampire and Werewolf the Requiem
I dunno but it looks like Fanpro may be doing the same thing. They just brought in a new Director of Marketing so that would put them in line for some new material? It's a hunch and maybe not a good one, I dunno?

Fake. April first is comming up. I smell a setup. Good try though spyguy/Kryton.

Seriously something is going on. I don't know what but there is definately something going on. I'm guessing 4th edition. But don't quote me on that.

Smells like April Fools to me also... minus the elf pr0n. All future SR April Fools must include elf pr0n.

I loved that old aprils-joke, kept the "NO MORE ELFPORN." pic as an avatar for awhile (not, here mind you). Best thing was that some of my friends didn't read through the whole thing, and so thought it was real...
I hope there isn't a 4th edition on the way, seems unescessary for the time being.

Too late.
The image is a fake.
Logos over text, where the text should wrap...
And, given the page layout in the image, why is there a d20 logo in that position on the page?
The page looks like it's supposed to be an introduction/chapter heading, not a cover or title page. Hence why the logos?
[Edit - damn, I'm too slow...]
Wolf indeed...

I'm not talking about the Logos. Ignore the image completely......I'm talking about a possible 4th edition or something of that nature? I think the D20 is a fake but that's totally different.

Not much...
Just pretending I know in case something happens at noon Vegas time
I guess you'll see this topic swell and the DSF aflame anyway, so you probably won't miss it.
