Go For the Eyes Boo – Go for the Eyes!
Quite often I dream of the really old school games. I bust out the old NES, pop in Zelda and then have the damnedest time trying to find the Level 1 dungeon. I get nostalgic for the old PC game Curse of the Azure bonds or even Hillsfar, but one of the classics was always Baldur's Gate. I really think what made this game so rad was the characters and their quotes. I know that among my

D&D 4th Edition: Is It Worth Buying all New Dungeons and Dragons Books?
I'm going to be honest here. I haven't really done that much research into the new 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons.

They didn't last too long in 3.0. My first thought about 4.0 was that it was just a
