AWESOME!!!

 

Now if you can only get them to re-release the original Dragonlance modules I will be a happy camper.

 

D&D is a great game to teach the concepts of game systems and I would reccommend any game programmer to whet their whistle with it first.  I have been meaning to get back into it, but unfortunately I have become an old geek with no old geek friends.
