This site is generating some gamer buzz. Not that gamers ever actually interact with PEOPLE; it’s more of a “exchanging links with other people’s computers” buzz.
Ya. Anyways, this is some cable access show and one of the trailers is from a show where they kidnap real life girls and force them to play D & D. Cuz that’s like pwnage. I guess.
From the Guild Wars website:
ArenaNet and NCsoft are proud to announce the second Guild Wars World Preview Event! During the last three days of October, players from around the world are invited to play Guild Wars and enjoy a completely new Guild Wars experience …
… link also has details about the three ways to try out Guild Wars during the event. I tried this game during the first preview; I enjoyed it. I’m not fanboisterous about it, but their design of instancing and character levels/skills is at least different.
Slashdot | 30 Years Of Dungeons And Dragons
vasqzr writes “CNN has a story about Dungeons and Dragons celebrating its 30th birthday. ‘An estimated 25,000 fans in 1,200 stores celebrated the anniversary Saturday, said Charles Ryan, brand manager for role-playing games at Wizards of the Coast, a Renton, Washington, company that owns Dungeons & Dragons.'”
Quite a legacy for board role-playing game, genre … dare I say, lifestyle. And I do dare. D & D always seemed a bit (how shall I say) boring for my tastes, but I’ll agree that D & D pwns the market on bizarre and twisted murder trials.
And people, if you’re going to join in on the festivities, please bring your own daggers.
