D&D, the fourth (edition)
I’ve been privileged enough to have gotten into two separate D&D games lately, so I’ve been reading a bit about current events in role playing a bit more than usual. One thing that has been talked about alot by D&D fans of late is the impending release of version 4 of the D&D rules by Wizards of the Coast, the company who now owns the system. Having only recently shelled out for the v3.5 core rule books, I can’t say that I personally was very eagerly anticipating it, but having played them now a few times there certainly was room for some improvement. You can get a peek into what’s going on by watching the four parts of the presentation at the links below captured at this year’s GenCon - the presentation started with the video I’ve embedded here lampooning the various versions of D&D over the years, narrated by a fake frenchman. If you’re really interested, there are several videos taken at GenCon of the entire talk first part, second part, third part, fourth part.
