Just to clear the air, 4th edtion has been out for a few years now.

Hackmaster is the 4th edtion of DnD. They said it when it came out. So instead of all the "when is 4th ed. coming out?" threads, we can have "when is 5th ed. coming out?" threads. ;)

But the game's a joke. Actually, I would've preferred if it had been more of a joke. Now it incorporates the funny aspects of KoDT that we've seen in the comic into D&D, but nothing more. I'd be surprised if the game they actually play in the comic was just like D&D, expect for the few things mentioned in the comic. It should've been more 'KoDTified'.

Are "they" WotC? 'Cause otherwise "they" are in no position to declare that the game is 4th edition of D&D, when "they" don't hold the licence to D&D....

If HM wasn't so gawd-awful I could accept it being 4th edition.

Hackmaster is NOT a joke. It is a very well put together game with some parody elements required by the licence.

I know it's not only a joke. It's something half-baked. A D&D with some KoDT jokes sprinkled on top. Like they took D&D, started from KoDT #1 and included everything pertaining to HackMaster. Then they took KoDT #2. Did the same. Rinse, repeat.

If it wasn't in KoDT, it's from D&D. Thats why most spells are like they were straight from D&D, but one spell that was a spoof in KoDT strip has an arcane formula for calculating it's range. I'm just asking .. why not make the whole game KoDTified and as exciting?
