4th Edition is here!!!

Okay, 4th edition has been announced, it's not quite here yet, and the Fist Full of Comics and Games guys were there and share the audio with me to put out here even as the convention (GenCon) is still going on. In this timely episode I bring you most of the audio direct from the announcement as well as some reactions from the FFoCaG guys who were there. Then I finish off by giving you some more news that I have learned and some of my thoughts on the new edition.

There will be at least one follow up episode to this as the FFoCaG guys send along more clips, plus don't hesitate to turn to the Tome for the monthly D&D news segments which will be featuring 4th edition news.

This show is a member of the Gaming Broadcast Network, Goblin (http://gbncom.com).

Go visit the D&D website (Here) and what do you get? A visual that is a countdown of some sort. It is labeled 4deventure. All the dice on the image are on the number 4.

I'm told (because I'm not actually going to be at GenCon) that the countdown happens to perfectly coincide with a scheduled D&D event at the convention.

This leaves me...apprehensive to say that best.
