D&D 4.0 and D&D Stormreach
Tim, at CAD Comics news (great comic, by the way) writes about the new Dungeons and Dragons system that’s coming out, known as D&D 4.0.
I, myself, am still playing (when I get the chance) D&D 3.0 having refused to take part in the debacle/ marketing scam that was D&D 3.5. I use my own house rules to cover the week points in the system and therefore bypass the need to give another 60+ dollars to Wizards of the Coast.
As a primarily pc/console gaming site, Tim says:
A few times I tried to get into the whole DnD roleplaying thing the best I could with both Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, but it never really stuck, and I know it wouldn’t have been like real DnD anyway.
Hopefully someday they’ll successfully translate the DnD experience to something that can be played online.
I guess, and it seems odd to think this is true, Tim has never heard of the MMORPG that WotC released some time ago; D&D Online: Stormreach. I played that one for a while, being one of the only MMOs I’ve gotten into (that and Runescape). It’s a slightly inferior game than World of Warcraft, but its more genetically related to D&D, which I like better than WoW. The races, weapons and magic systems are more familiar to me, as a D&D player. I would much like to read to review of that game by Tim.
And one more thing:
In the meantime, the closest I get is my miniature wargaming, with Warmachine, which I absolutely love.
I never got into Warmachine, but I played Warhammer 40k for a while. I could spend any more money on table top wargaming systems; the models were getting too expensive. Plus, they kept changing the rules and mini designs. I still have all my models though. I can’t bring myself to part with them.
Well that’s all on that matter for now. I’m going to get back to that episode of Doctor Who that I was watching.
