Gnomes and half-orcs are back, baby.
So are bards, barbarians, druids and sorcerers.
This week sees the release of Player’s Handbook 2 for the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition game, so it’s fitting that the semiannual Worldwide D&D Game Day event planned for March 21 is designed to show off the new product — which reintroduces some of D&D’s classic races and classes, revised and updated for the game’s newest incarnation.
Other new classes include the avenger, invoker, shaman and warden; additional races include the deva, goliath and shifter. Some of these options appeared in 3rd Edition rules supplements.
East Valley stores participating include: Gamer’s Inn, 1232 E. Southern Ave., Mesa; Game Daze, 6555 E. Southern Ave., Mesa; Pop Culture Paradise, 707 S. Forest Ave., Suite A, Tempe; and The Game Depot, 3136 S. McClintock Dr., No. 11, Tempe. You can find more hosting sites at the official event page.
