Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Release

Posted By Matt-M-McElroy On June 8, 2008 @ 7:00 am In News | No Comments

We’ve had our review of the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons [1] posted for a few days already. The review seems to be pretty popular as well. We also reported that Wizards of the Coast will be a Co-Sponsor at GenCon [2] recently.

Flames Rising is primarily a Horror & Dark Fantasy website, but we really can’t ignore a new edition of D&D. Other sites with a bit more focus on the game have plenty of interesting discussion going on, the RPGNet D&D Forum [3], EN World [4] and Story Games [5], just to name a few.

Initial reports have been pretty positive, some retailers are mentioning decent sales and online offers from Amazon.com [6] and Noble Knight Games [7] also seem to be in high demand.

Aside from some colorful commentary, many people seem to be enjoying the new game. There are plenty of positive threads on the forums I linked to above and some free resources on the Wizards of the Coast website [8].

Locally, things seemed to be hit-or-miss. I’ve seen a few reports of local games, but also a few of poor Madison game store management. This seems to be pretty standard around here. Some stores are on top of current events and new releases, others not-so-much. Still, we’ve got Grumbling Dwarf [9] for local news, games and other cool events going on in the area.

Here at Flames Rising we are looking for more Dungeons & Dragons reviews. Drop by the Submissions Page [10] to check out our guidelines and send in your thoughts on these new books.
