Since there have been two major updates in the past day, here’s the list of companies that I know of (and let me know if there’s any I’ve missed, I’ll try to add them) that have or specifically have not signed the GSL. I’ve also tried to source them in some way. Necromancer Games: Staying […]
Rage, Song, and Shapeshift are all coming back
ENWorld is reporting, via the WotC 2009 catalog sent to retailers, that you’ll see the return of some familiar faces in PHB2: the Players Handbook 2 will include Druid, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Bard, and Swordmage classes (eight in all). New races will include the gnome, the half-orc, and the goliath. Cynics can now engage their “only […]
We be Chatty Geeks
So 24 hours (and about 80 comments) after publication, a lot has been discussed about yesterday’s post. I don’t want to spend more time on this. I feel it’s time I put my money where my mouth is and leave discussion about the D&D edition transition behind me and start focusing on the near future […]
Some Pleasant Overlap
I’ve noticed lately that there seem to be two groups of people who really enjoy 4e, and who are coming back to it after years of not playing D&D: WoW Players Eurogamers Now, I think I’ve shied away from pointing this out because early on, these were used as derogatory statements against 4e. (I still […]
(Not)Understanding The D&D Geek
I think everyone can agree that Wizards of the Coast has issues with 4e and it’s digital initiative. Yesterday’s announcement of the demise of the Gleemax Gamer Social Network experiment and the continued fan backlash over everything 4e is eating up at Wizards’ reputation as the trustworthy keeper of two of the world’s most popular […]

More WotC shakeup: Novel lines canceled
Over at ENWorld, author Ari Marmell laments another change in WotC policy: they are discontinuing their novel lines that do not relate directly to D&D or Magic. A number of posters both on Wizards own boards and on ENWorld have noticed a distinct lack of activity from WotC Staffers on the messageboards in the past […]
Gleemax is dead?
ChattyDM pointed this post out to me: Gleemax Farewell By Randy Buehler Wizards of the Coast has made the decision to pull down its Gleemax social networking site in order to focus on other aspects of our digital initiatives, especially Magic Online and Dungeons & Dragons Insider. We continue to believe that fostering online community […]
Someone Broke the Brain’s Jar
This blog is not about breaking news, others are better suited to do it. Regardless, I got an email a few minutes ago by a fellow reader (confirmed by Propoagandroid) that informed me that Gleemax, Wizards of the Coast’s Social Gamer network, will close down for good in September. While Propagandroid makes a good case […]
Inq. of the Week: Monster Brawl
The Dark Knight dominated its second weekend, but who is surprised by that with competition like the way late X-Files movie sequel and Will Ferrell’s latest movie Step Brothers? It raked in $75 million on its second weekend, which is very impressive and left the second place movie way behind at $30 million. Last week […]
