D&D&D&D&D&D
EDIT: Mike Mearls tweeted today that the board game is no hoax. Does this mean that the 3.5 reprints are a go? Interesting times indeed. “I’m just sitting here Watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll.” John Lennon Well, this certainly made for an interesting week in D&D land.
