More Details on Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition

Gamespy had a chat with Chris Perkins, story manager for Dungeons and Dragons R&D, at this year's Gen Con. Though Chris had no more details to offer Gamespy than he did for us at the event, the piece puts a lot of information all into one place on what we can expect from D&D Fourth Edition. "GameSpy: We've been reading a lot about talent trees in 4th Edition ... Christopher Perkins: Talent trees aren't unique to MMORPGs. Wizards has produced other games that use talent trees, such as the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game and the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition. The theory of game design, regardless of platform, is constantly evolving. We've taken our gaming experiences over the past decade, as well as player feedback on the games and supplements we've produced in that time period, to build a system for character creation and advancement in 4th Edition that draws inspiration from numerous sources, but isn't exactly like anything that's been done before."

D&D is gay.

Dear Slashdot,

OK, just had a lazy hands-up-who-played-D&D in the office and I can say for sure that if you care about the new edition you probably cared about the old edition and if you cared about the old edition you are probably a lonely bearded twit who gets around in one of those crazy long jackets that doesn't make you look like Neo no matter what you might think and I went to school with this guy who was mad keen on D&D and had all the books and the twenty bazillion sided +20 dice of indivisibility and all that crap and he turned out to be a wooly-woofter so I'd say D&D is gay.

The End.
