[slashdot]Ask the Designers of D&D Fourth Edition

[Aloïsius]

Slashdot has just posted this : http://slashdot.org/

This past August, big news dropped in the tabletop gaming community: 2008 would see the release of a fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Since then the official D&D Insider site, and communities like the excellent ENWorld, have been doing their best to keep us up to date on the ins and outs of the newest way to dungeon-delve. With the release just five months away, we've been given a chance to put some questions to the team developing the game. One question per post, if you would, and we'll make sure to pass the best questions on to the designers. Don't forget to ask about the online version of the D&D tools as well! We'll get their answers back to you as soon as we get them, so fire away.

Nice !

I hope we can take the slashdotting.

Maybe a few of the visitors will buy an account. Server upgrade!

Well, it seems the server is working...

Getting slashdotted ain't what it used to be.

I don't know why Tellah is being used as an icon for D&D, but I'm not complaining.
So far I'm seeing a lot of misguided questions in the comments section, and a lot of people asking about aspects of the game we obsessives have known for a while now. It's cool to see some exposure for the game, but I'm not holding my breath for substantive new information.

People still read slashdot? I remember it was big around 2000, but I haven't heard it mentioned in literally years.

Some of us should actually head over there and ask some questions. It's a good opportunity to shake down some solid answers, though I don't think there will be any mechanics presented.
