11:11 am - D&D 4th Edition Previews NOTE: Especially in a D&D post, I should note that it seems that the Gary Gygax, one of the founders of D&D, has just passed away -- as posted on Troll Lord Games, via zigguratbuilder and RPGnet. It was reported as a front-page link on CNN.com. I had just been writing an update on 4th edition D&D. The past weekend was the Dungeons & Dragons Experience -- an RPGA event in Arlington, Virginia. There special preview demos of the new 4th edition were given. Mike Shea created a D&D Experience Liveblog to cover it. He posted lots of pictures and commentary as well as a Demo Adventure PDF. There are also a set of zipped PDF character sheets available from WotC. (I have a page of conversions for easy browsing of the character sheets.) Really, the mechanics and background details are being discussed to death in many other forums more focused on it. I don't have a whole lot to add. Personally, I'll wait to see some reviews of the full game once it is published in June and maybe play some demos. I will at least post the new proposed cover of the flagship, the new Player's Handbook. ( large pictures behind cut )
