The New York Times

I dont know how many of you guys read the New York Times, but in the papers "Arts section" usually reserved for the latest Broadway show, Ballet star or Old Master painting mystery.... But front page was a huge full color photo for D&D online . It was in Monday's paper, so it's a few days late.... still thought it was pretty stinkin' cool.

Either way - it made me smile a lot.


Enough to venture out of the dark hole, also known as the World of Warcraft forums, and let you all know about it.


Have a great day

Re: The New York Times

Nice to find you again Val - I miss your stinkin butt

WoW isnt the same without ya



I have a really strong urge to start playing D&D online..... not sure if i can commit myself to another game though.... WoW Has kinda sucked all my attention at the moment.

Are the games comparable? What do you think it really great about D&D? I might give it a try.





(check my avatar btw - it's my Pally sitting on Vin's lap while his Murloc gives us the evil fish eye - hehe)

Haha.. I played WoW.. and loved it.. and then BF2 took up my time, now I play D&DO during all my free time. I do plan on going back to some play on BF2 once the guild is stabilized and self perpetuating with SM's... if it is going to get that way. I also still get WoW prepay cards and pop on once in awhile - I have one now actually.

On the surface, if you've played WoW you will think they are very comparable - but as you transition from the Harbor to the Market place - you see just how different they are. Lots of eye and brain candy - you can also see there is a tremendous amount of room for this adventure to grow in the future.

Admittedly - it is a significant investment in money for a game.. not to mention the time it will suck away from everything else. Especially without there being a trial version available.. but then WoW was pretty much the same way, however, I whole - heartedly encourage the investment, and that is rare for me.

I'd definitely like to hear what Val thinks too.

If I can find a copy of that page with the NYT article- I've got a 36" scanner I can put it on.

That would be really sweet - it was in Monday's paper.


Yeah, I am starting to feel the need to find somthing other than WoW to do in my offtime.... it would be nice to play something else for a while you know?


Cant say ive ever tired D&D.... the game must not be too hard to get into though.

Thats just it.. it is VERY easy to get into.. not becuase it is overly simplistic but because it is very well designed. - IMHO

- Oh, I haven't been able to get a copy of Mondays NYT..
