Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale will be a multiplayer action-RPG for PSN, PC and Xbox Live. Atari have the honours.

Is D&D Insider’s move to Silverlight for Character Builder too little, too late?
Yesterday Wizards announced that their software for building 4e Dungeons and Dragons (cleverly known as ‘Character Builder’) would no longer be supported in its current format and would be moving to Silverlight.

The new Gamma World is due out in the UK very soon. Wizards of the Coast are taking a gamble with it but it is an understandable gamble. Firstly, they’re strongly connecting the D&D brand to it this time. There’s not that familiar d20 logo to act as the outstretched hand to new players this […]

However, the games company admitted it had been approached by a private equity firm about a possible deal – and that the Board of Directors had turned them down.

Unintentionally funny adventures from D&D Tiny Adventures
I had started to collect some of the worst text from Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons and Dragons: Tiny Adventures. It’s not a huge list but I wanted to share. It must have been hard writing all that conditional text for the game in the first place. I wonder how many words some poor writer? […]
