FOURTHCORE - WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
(from the blog)
What is Fourthcore?
Fourthcore is an unusual genre of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS that departs from some aspects of the game’s design philosophy. While Fourthcore doesn’t require different materials or use different rules, it does embrace a set of assumptions that may not be obvious at first glance. It’s important that these assumptions are made clear to everyone playing, as Fourthcore can be very jarring and unpleasant for those who aren’t prepared for or don’t understand it.
And with that opening I welcome you to The Slaughterhouse. Remember that stack of D&D 4e books sitting over in the corner? Well, go dig’em out…cause it’s about to get all medieval up in here!
Now, understand, I’m no fan of 4e but a lot of innocent trees died to produce a massive amount of rule books so why not take advantage of them. Plus the concept itself just sounds damn good. If 4e ever had a destiny and purpose I think they may have found it with Fourthcore.
