I read this page every day. I've discovered a ton of great new games and blog sites because of it. You even point out somethings on other sites I vist that I missed when I visited them that day. Keep it up and running. That's my vote!

Makes one wonder if the 5 years between editions 'plan' is a new strategy for WotC.

I, for one, am extremely curious to see what changes have been made.
