4th Edition

Ironically when typing the title I typed $th Edition which in some ways certainly applies. For those of you who you A) Care and B) somehow haven't heard the 4th Edition of D&D was announced at GenCon on Thursday (although it was reported by Enworld on Wednesday. As more info has percolated out it actually sounds pretty cool. A lot of people were wary but this sounds like a competent re-design of D&D. WotC appears to have paid attention to how people play and done their best to support that game style. Granted we'll have to see come winter and more importantly next spring when the previews and actually books come out respectively. I'm curious and I have to admit I will probably get the core books. I know a lot of D&Ders around here are skeptical but since I'm half-collector and half-player I'll take a look. Besides which I can see why starting over after 8 years is a good thing. Better then how quick Exalted turned over and I eventually got sucked back into that too.

In non gaming news I guess there isn't a whole lot. It finally rained a bunch. Heck it rained all day yesterday and is misty all day today. My grass will be green again! It did throw my plans off yesterday a bit tho but I didn't inside stuff: lots of laundry, etc. Today I am procrastinating on starting to sort through the billions of papers that I need to tackle but after this I'll do that. Saturday evening Allison and I spent part of the night trying to hunt down a random old movie I want to see called The Car. No luck so eventually settled on The Covenant which came out last year. It was ok, not fantastic but did have some interesting points. Very pop culturish. Saw Titan AE this week as well and although it's obviously somewhat more oriented towards younger audience I was very impressed with the graphics and the soundtrack wasn't half bad either.

Well I suppose I should get to it. Enjoy the rain!
