Jump into the D&D Encounters video
The D&D team have had a long form ad for Encounters up on YouTube for just under a week. It’s worth a watch just for the curiosity factor. This video is an interesting marketing angle. It’s too long to be an ad. It doesn’t deep dive into Encounters enough to be educational. I think it’s […]

Magic: The Gathering Tactics with black mana trailer
The latest trailer for Sony and Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: the Gathering Tactics game keeps the focus on black mana. I’ve mixed feelings about this trailer. Does it suggest a quality game to you or does it feel a bit basic? I think it’s so hard to tell because Magic: the Gathering Tactics is […]
Are Wizards of the Coast about to announce D&D 5e?
Update: A year after this post was written, Wizards of the Coast announced D&D 5e. It will be, in part, crowd sourced. There’s some speculation out there in interwebyland that Wizards of the Coast are working on the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
