"Nice dice you've got here… shame if something should happen to them"

September 19, 2007 by Dave

Arrr, ENWorld be reporting that invitations are going out to playtest D&D4e to any soul brave enough to have signed up for their message boards. We on the good ship Critical Hits say that if WotC knows what’s good for ’em, they’ll be sending an invitation our way. They are Wizards of the Coast, after all, and having a coast makes it easy to board their offices, plunder any treasure we might need, and make some game designers walk the plank. Just sayin’…
