Well, we've reached another June, goons.

Bush is on his way out, gas prices have never been higher, and 4th edition has just launched.

After a half decade of 3e, we're seeing something new out of D&D. I know some people feel like arguing about martial healing, the death of multiclassing, and anime art, but keep all the edition warring to YCS.

Let's just enjoy another warm summer by hiding indoors in our parent's basement talking about elfgames.

Man, I am SO EXCITED for D&D 4th edition! It's going to be awesome. Have you seen that hilarious preview video with the guy grappling the ogre?

It was so true to form, wasn't it? And I love how I could not tell what accent he had or what he was saying. How about the gnome flash videos or the one with the Lady of Pain with the excessive gore? Brilliant.

Rawr, I'm a monster!

You were posting about RANGERS I bet

I mean they had a good run. They actually broke a record for most doubles in a single season. Go rangers, right?

If it makes you feel better, I heard rumors that Paizo will continue supporting 3.5.

Now, take your teenage nerd tears back to live journal where it belongs.

I saw their flowchart for grappling. I think their addition of CAB and CMD might lead to one of my players possibly considering to grapple once maybe. Still, I feel like supporting WotC and D&D. True fans follow blindly.

Whoo, 2008! I barely even know or acknowledge that there is an independent gaming scene.

Still playing Arcana Evolved, but I'll take a look at 4th ed around Christmas. Let's play D&D forever and never consider any other genres or games!

Games other than D&D? Hell, I am not even aware people still play traditional games. Maybe in college I will have a rulelawyer roomate who will force me to sit down for a medicore campaign that will cause me to like such things.

Have you heard about the OSR? Apparently people are making "retro-clones" of older editions of D&D. I wonder if this is related to the controversy surrounding D&D's new edition.

I heard bioware, makes of Mass Effect, are making a new, D&D inspired game called Dragon Age. All the previews for it look nice. It comes out next year.

Best bit: they're making a tabletop rpg for it. Anint that cool? To get it out on time, they plan on selling it in chunks like BECMI so the first 5 levels will be available at launch. I don't like it too much -- seems money grubby --,but, hey, it's not like it's going to take them years to finish the game. You know, it's not like it's going to take them from 2008 to 2014 before they release the final set. That'd be silly. That'd be like WotC slightly longer than that to develop a shoddy 3.5 derivative and calling it 5th edition.

Worst case scenario someone runs off with all the crowdfunding money leaving the project unfinished.

I'm sure services that would offer crowdfunding projects will have a rigorous process to be approved. This ought to weed out the bad eggs and scammers.

I just spent the last month using every spare moment translating Maid RPG. I am so freaking burned out right now. But it looks like we're going to make it in time for Gen Con.

Did you actually make it in time for Gen Con?
