July 7th, 2009, 11:05 am by Jayson Peters

Dungeons and Dragons Exemplars of EvilWizards of the Coast is planning a series of updates to Dungeons & Dragons supplements and adventure modules produced near the end of 3rd Edition’s lifespan that will make them more useful to players of the newer 4th Edition.

The following 3.5-version products will “go Fourth” this month:

  • Exemplars of Evil
  • Elder Evils
  • Fortress of the Yuan-ti
  • Stormreach
  • Dragons of Eberron
  • Anauroch

D&D creative manager Chris Perkins noted in the official game forum: “Normally I’d say ‘Better late than never,’ but these are pretty damn late. Again, profuse apologies. We suck.” Supplements published during the transition between editions, before the new rules were out, carried a logo that indicated they would be compatible with 4th Edition.

Speculation has swelled online recently about which classic D&D property would be turned into the next campaign setting for the latest edition of the pen-and-paper roleplaying game. An announcement of the shared world for 2010 is almost certain to come at Gen Con. Will it be Krynn, world of magical moons, accursed Death Knights, mischievous Kender and legendary Dragonlances?

Saturday is Worldwide D&D Game Day

March 16th, 2009, 12:04 am by Jayson Peters

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.
