Now for some people, electronic gaming is a great evil.  I know many people who don't like any number generation that isn't analog, but it's hard to toss your dice across half a state.  Problem solved.

I thought it interesting that Paizo is showing casing this book a part of their Planet Stories advertizing campaign.

Our girl is a fallen deity whose sword is capable of sending mortals on journeys through time and space.  Though I knew druids had some nifty talents, I had now idea they had that kind of power!

What will she do next?

I just got this in my email box.

Dear Insider,

As a valued D&D Insider™ subscriber, we wanted to make sure that you were among the first to know about some changes to D&DI that will be coming this July.

Starting Tuesday, July 7, D&D Insider will debut complete sections of final, playable, Player's Handbook® 3 material each month leading up to the book's release in March 2010. As a D&DI subscriber, you will be the first to receive nine months of content totaling 102 pages available only through your D&DI subscription.

Check out this article from Nikki Finke. While it seems like this may be unconfirmed, it doesn't really bother me that much. I was hoping that Alexander Skarsgard might get the role, but after seeing the most recent Star Trek, I think Chris Hemsworth (Captain Kirk's Father) did an amazing acting job with the short screen time that he had. He really commanded the screen. I know I got a pit in my stomach when I realized the sacrifice he was going to make. If Kenneth Brannaugh thinks he's right then I think he's going to be great. Kenneth Brannaugh knows his Shakespearean Battle flicks and as far as I can figure, that is what Thor should be in many ways too. By Odin let it be so!

Our last D&D session, which was my Scales of War: Rescue and Rivenroar game, was a blast as usual. We have a fun character mix. Everyone seems to have a good time with the role-playing/fighting mix. One of the nice things that happened the last game session was that the D&D Insider Compendium finally came in handy.

Credit goes to Rob who commented during our game's first rules question about how the Compendium finally has a glossary section. This was updated on April 26th.

"Glossary: added a new Glossary tab to the Compendium. The Glossary provides summary information on combat rules, conditions, weapons properties and type, Monsters and powers keywords, and much more. "

Wizards has released the Monk playtest in the latest Dragon magazine.

I am way to excited to think logically about it yet. I'll need some time for it to sink in. I also have to figure out how to get someone else in our group to DM something in 4E so I can try it out!

This is not some level 1-3 prerelease either. This is a full level 1-30 playtest. From what I can tell Dex is your key damage modifier with some Wisdom modifiers thrown in for good measure. 

Flurrying, Stances, Leaping, Kicking, Psionics! Monks rule!

Wizards has announced that at some unspecified time in the future they will be changing up the content with their two online magazines a bit.

"But now, we have a year of 4th Edition under our belts, and we've taken a good, hard look at the magazines and the content we release. In a few months (we're not ready to talk about specific dates yet), we're going to refocus the content of Dragon and Dungeon with the goal of giving players and DMs exciting and useful 4th Edition material in a clear-cut, intuitive way. In the new world order, Dragon will become the hub for all of your player needs, and Dungeon will become the hub for all of your DM needs."

I guess the new split of a player and a DM magazine focus makes sense. Honestly though why have it at all? Now that they are digital, why split them in any way? Its not like there are printing concerns anymore. Why not just have a Dungeons and Dragons magazine? I guess in the end it really doesn't matter since its all digital.
