You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You might want to try crossposting in Minearverse, then.

Does he have the books too? The Minear life is a sweet life.

Hee. No, they had a huge font-geek fest in there a little while ago. I figured you could state your case for serif vs. san serif fonts as used in gaming media.

Ah, I wondered what had caused such a flurry of posts.

On Saturday I'm going to pop along to Wizards' big D&D 4E Launch event. Should be interesting.

I'm visiting family in Canberra over the weekend. (We have a long weekend - Queen's Birthday holiday. You guys need a monarch, it's more reliable than President's Day.) So I'm missing the Game Day and launch stuff. Ah well.

move out and draw fire

Wow, that totally took me back to my first D&D.

Except for where the whole 4E part smacked me upside the head.

I still maintain its focus is as tactical minis game, but I will wait until ours arrives and I can read/play it.

Ok, some advice from the new PHB:

Play a dragonborn if you want... to look like a dragon.

Hee.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I got a message from my roomie that my nephew is sleeping over tonight. I will be very surprised if I don't find them playing Magic when I get home.

I HAZ 4E 2!!!

Yeah, I'm gonna be settling down for some reading. I'm pleased to say it looks like my art printed well too.

My 2ยข on 4E. I'm even more surprised by the scale of changes to the system, but I am very excited to give it a whirl.

But man, do I wish this system had been out a few years ago as the fighter's new arsenal of powers would have been excellent for my great drunken dwarf character.
