Humour: Character Builder Announcement

[Maccwar]

Well here we have it I guess.

In a move which has surprised gamers and industry insiders alike, Wizards of the Coast announced today the cancellation of further support for the current version of the Character Builder component of their troubled D&D Insider service. The Character Builder will instead be replaced with the new 'Essentials offline Character Builder'.

WoTC’s new head of Marketing James Whynot is quoted as saying “I’m sure new and old fans of D&D will get behind this new offering which brings back the authentic atmosphere of the original D&D product line.”

D&DI Subscribers should contact WoTC’s customer support service to confirm their mailling address and will in due course receive the offline character builder throught the mail comprising of a supply of pencils, lined paper and a limited edition eraser.

I heard though if you sign up within the next few weeks you get a free packet of pop rocks, and a KISS t-shirt.

Yeah, you know what? Some of us occasionally take a few moments from our regular work day to check on various interests we have. So seeing that there is an announcement about the Character Builder, only to discover a lame joke? Not what I want to see on ENWorld.

*** I took a chill pill and now I feel better. Chill pills for everyone!

Well, the offical announcement just went up over at WotC.

If you have Twitter access at work, I would recommend following me ([MENTION=56746]mudbunny[/MENTION]74 Twitter), as I will be tweeting a link to the announcement as soon as I see it.

I will also start a thread here on ENWorld with the announcement quoted in it that I will be using for feedback to pass on to WotC.
