The end is near!!!

[Dungeoneer]

Guys, a strange thing happened to me a while back in the parking lot of Wal-mart. There was this old bum with a shopping cart standing next to my car. As I tried to squeeze by him, he turned and laid a hand on my sleeve, and began to rant and rave. At the time, I thought he was crazy. Suddenly, though, I'm starting to wonder!

With cheap beer on his breath, he started yelling,

"LO! The time of the FOURTH AGE will be a time of great STRIFE and UNREST! BROTHER will turn against BROTHER, FATHER against SON, NERD against GEEK! In those days the CORE CLASSES shall be SCATTERED amongst THREE BOOKS, yea, THREE is their number and their number is THREE! And the MONK shall be in the last book and he shall be PSIONIC. Then they shall do the SAME CLASSES all over again, but they shall declare them to be ESSENTIAL! But the end is not yet."

"In those days, many will look for a VIRTUAL TABLE TOP, but it COMETH NOT before the end. Instead they shall have a CHARACTER BUILDER, and for a time it shall NOURISH them, but then it shall be taken away and replaced by an IMPOSTER, and there will be much WAILING and GNASHING OF TEETH. And the DRAGON shall falter and the DUNGEON lie barren, for lo the writers shall BLOW ALL THEIR DEADLINES! And MANY shall stop their subscriptions from AUTO-RENEWING."

"You will know that the END IS NEAR when you see this SIGN, the three LETTERS that are the MARK OF THE BEAST. The WISE shall know them, for they are THREE. And the three letters are C, C and G. Then shall the gamers shall CURSE AND WAIL and speak of FIFTH EDITION."

"Then the SKIES SHALL BLACKEN and books shall FALL FROM THE SCHEDULE! There shall be NO MORE MINIS, and everyone shall buy BOARDGAMES instead! And lo, they shall bring back GAMMA WORLD. FRIGGING GAMMA WORLD, man! Can you believe it?"

"Anyway, you got five dollars buddy?"

Then I saw that he'd peed on my car, and I pushed him away and he shuffled off cursing.

Man, at the time I thought that old man was out of his mind, but I'm not so sure anymore! What do you guys think?!?

I like to call these kinds of events "things that cause smoke to come out of your ears".

Bumpeth'd! So that all ENWorlders may hear,
the words of the prophet known as Dungeoneer...

Thanks man, but I merely repeat the words of the crazy Wal-mart hobo prophet!

His dark words and terrible breath are seared eternally in my memory! Either that or I had too much beer last night.

What must I do to save myself from the end times or should I just hope that I get eaten first?

Something Wal-Mart this way comes?

Nostradamus had a whole quatrain about this, but the CIA buried it under a Masonic temple.

And I beheld a pale edition and the man that rode on it was called Hasbro and inexplicable decisions followed.
