    Nostalgic Trading Cards Announce New Star Wars Character Names

    Agree that the order is chronological, though tagging the images to the run time minute is not far fetched. Card #1 would be 'A long time ago..." ? I'd not be surprised if these cards went on sale at some point as well. The Merchandise is strong with this one.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Last Gen Release Date Slips Two Months

    Hands-On Golem Arcana: Using Bluetooth for Seamless Tactics

    Great article, Jon. Price points are always key. Interesting to see $80 for the starter, $40 for expansions, and $70 for a big single mini. The proximity of price points of the starter and the bigger single mini is very interesting.

    Exclusive: The Table of Contents and Sorcerer From the D&D Player's Handbook

    Great scoop here! Appendix E was definitely what jumped out at me the most. Everything else seems to be in order. 79 pages of Spells?!? Awesome. Definitely a big fan of 5e already.

    Inside the Launch of the New Dungeons & Dragons With Designer Mike Mearls

    Great info here Jon, thank you! I am excited for the revised Organized Play system as one of a team of Encounters DMs for a group of about 30 players. Factions should be interesting to integrate, though I don't believe they are mandatory. Harpers, Lord's Alliance, Emerald Enclave, Zhents...

    Great article, Jon! I was happy to see the new Store Locator app. I have been running encounters for the last 10 seasons though I have done so with the full support of my FLGS. I'm very excited for the roll out of this new program, though it is clear to me that WotC is polishing already...

    Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor's Orcs Are Dumber on Last Gen Systems
