D&D 4th Edition

So Wizards have announced 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, and used this little film (and a couple of example videos) to plug the new version.

Initial thoughts?

On the plus side, if they make D&D more like Star Wars SAGA Edition - it's much more user friendly, and NOOBIE friendly too. It's not perfect in the accessibility stakes, but it's a great improvement on the other Wizards books, and a great way to get people into the hobby.

On the negative side, they've advertised the game with (a) students - why aren't they targeting new players, like kids? and (b) people obviously need computer access to play - aren't we supposed to be getting people away from computer screens and interacting more socially? At least, that's the positive message of their last campaign...

We'll have to see.

UFOs sighted over Haiti

If they're real, it's really cool.

If they're fake... they're still really cool...

No other news I'm afraid, except All Tomorrow's Zombies is in stores now, and this time next week we'll know if we've won an ENnie!!

Fingers crossed!
