News: I want my magic back!
Although chances are high, i got fooled, I actually believe that such a design could work...
You didn't get fooled, I promise. That was posted yesterday, not today. We're definitely doing this. April Fool jokes are one thing, but deceiving people into parting with money for a subscription based on a non-existent article series would be something else entirely.
The first article - the Mage - will appear in the next week or so. That article includes the class, an introduction to the whole series, counterspelling (which we're writing in as a core feature), the schools of magic, and a sampling of 8-10 spells.
Subsequent articles (and there will be a lot of them) will include more spells (themed collections, spells written by specific mages, spells of a certain level, and so on - until we're covered the whole lot, although we'll likely add new ones in, too), paragon paths (based on school specializations, theme specializations such as a "fire mage", etc.), iconic NPCs (essentially our own "Circle of Eight"), and more.
