Gaming Report has posted a short message so shocking that I hesitate to even broach the subject (and I am not talking about the rumored Giuffria reunion). There are apparently plans to release a sequel to the rightly panned Dungeons and Dragons movie in 2004. That is about all that

Again with the MechWarrior: new expansion in August
MWRealms has quality discussion on Liao Incursion, a 124-piece expansion for MechWarrior due in August. Lovely new features include abilities you only get access to if you have some “faction purity” in your army (that’s not a direct quote, but my interpretation of speculation). That’s three MW expansions this year,

Atari (née Infogrames, née Hasbro Interactive) has co-announced with Wizards a massively multiplayer online game called, hold your breath for this one, Dungeons & Dragons Online. Hey, because there’s hardly any competition in the Tolkienesque-online-fantasy-world space. They plan to ship in two years, just like Master Tools (cough). To be
New candidate for world's scariest abstract board game
Rhythmomachy was created 1000 years ago and translated to English in the 16th century. Before the Rennaissance, its popularity allegedly rivaled that of chess.

Interplay to do Exalted titles
So it seems that White Wolf liked how their previous arrangement with Interplay turned out, because the pale lupine has granted an agreement to “develop, publish and distribute interactive entertainment games based on the characters and fiction” from the Exalted RPG line. The full press release doesn’t say much more,
Player’s Handbook spotted on TV
Yes, your eyes are fine; they weren’t deceiving you while watching West Wing earlier tonight. In this GE commercial, you did indeed see the D&D Player’s Handbook prominently displayed. And this time, the nerd gets the supermodel, too. You know what they say: the bigger the dice bag…
