I'll put the text here. But if you want to see the screenshots, or advanco-emoticons, you gotta hit the link above.
First off Mearls is a punk. "First to post na na na, look at me I'm cool "
It is a good thing the plane didn't crash. Almost the entire Experience staff was in the back half of the plane.
Any who, I am here in DC at D&D Experience. Tomorrow the show begins with Andy Collins, Chris Perkins, and myself presenting a full look at 4th edition products for 2008 (with some hints about 2009). We will also be talking about D&D Insider, what it will include, and what it will cost.
The gaming hall will open at 12pm EST and I am sure the blog-o-sphere will erupt with a bazillion posts on 4e tidbits and news. I'll be playing in the delve and the Living Forgotten Realms preview games as much as I can.
Speaking of D&D Insider, there will be demos of the pre-alpha versions of the Character Creator (mini builder) and Game Table at D&D Experience.
I want to stress a couple things about these tools as you look at screen shots or creation videos on the web:
1) These are pre-Alpha versions.
2) This is not a persistent world avatar based MMORPG. Character creation is for an online game table that allows you to build your own digital PC miniature for use on the game table. The idea is that you can emulate online, what you do at your kitchen table.
3) We wanted to build flexibility into the miniature creation process. It has hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of combinations of race, class, facial expressions, skin color, armor, weapons and other equipment so you can build your unique mini. The system is flexible enough that if you want to put plate armor on your warlock, cleric robes on your paladin, or build a hatchet faced human fighter, it will allow that.

OMG I slept terrible and now I am so tired. I think I was doing the presentation in my sleep.
I am really excited and relieved that the 4e curtain gets lifted today and people get to play the game I have been involved with for the past 2 years. This is by far the longest project I have ever worked on. I feel like a dad watching his kid graduate from high school (college graduation is June 6th).
I hosted some screen shots on photobucket of characters made by WOTC staff in our pre-alpha testing of the character builder. I thought these were pretty neat (doh I almost said the c**l word) and did a good job of showing the variety of character options and that they would be fun minis to have to play with in the game table.

Now those screenshots are better than the last ones. I do wish he'd shrink those images a tad though. 
What is it with the WOTC guys? The book preview images are these titchy little 400 pixel images that are completely useless, but, for the previews, we're getting monster sized images that make threads hard to read.
Guys, LEARN THE CODE.

I think they look pretty spiffy for what amounts to miniatures. I know the images don't necessarily mean anything in terms of stats/rules, but its hard not to notice each of those characters is wielding 2 weapons! Maybe a nice confirmation that 2 weapon fighting of some sort is still alive and well in 4E.

Yeah, those are some much better pictures of the character visualizer than had recently popped up on the Internet. Those pictures make me much more hopeful...
