No, no, not Forrest J. Ackerman. Wizards of the Coast announced that Dungeons & Dragons is getting a 4th Edition. Considering how long 2nd edition lived, it really seems like the new editions are coming more and more quickly…

I kind of miss D&D, to be honest. I have a lot of fond memories of the vast worlds I created with my friends back in the day. I know after our Scion game ends, we’re planning a game of Changeling: the Lost, but it would be nice to break out the D&D books and put together a campaign again. Of course, we’ll have to play 3.5E, I neither want to wait for May of next year, nor have the money to spend on reinvesting in yet another new edition of a game for which I already have an insane number of books.

It will be interesting to see how they work out the web-based tools they’re setting up to go with the new edition, though.
