So, Wizards got Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade and Scott Kurtz from PvP to sit down at a table to play 4th edition. Gabe announces it on the Penny Arcade news for today, and gives it a generally positive impression. The best part though? They recorded the whole thing for a podcast. (And added […]
Going all Wiki on Game Design
The friendly neighborhood Propangandroid over at The Gamer Dome has just launched a wiki for his new project: a way for all the amateur game designers to collaborate on their projects.
