PC Gamer D&D
« on: February 26, 2012, 04:26:40 AM »
anyone catch the D&D related article in the latest PC Gamer?

PG 31 of the April 2012 PC gamer

basically talks about how wizards should go about approaching v5 and how they screwed themselves by turning 4.0 into WoW. and how that with pc RPG games you cant really say FU to the storyline that the devs want you to play and do your own thing, but with D&D it is almost recommended and that aspect of total freedom in gameplay is what sets it apart from all other RPG's in general

nothing really new per-say but i thought it was interesting that one of my favorite video gaming magazines referenced my favorite tabletop game. if you can pick up a copy of the magazine, (or read the article at a newsstand quickly) its worth a read. shouldent take more than a few min.

Which PC Gamer? There's multiple magazines by that name, and some places sell more than one of them.

I also find it sort of interesting that--for all the protests of "4e is NOT like WoW!"--a magazine devoted to computer gaming comes to the conclusion that they tried to make it like WoW.

D&D 4e review by a PC gamer columnist! (ok, from 2008, but it does compare it to Wow)
