Tear it down to build it better!
Welcome to the new White Tower Gaming site! What? It doesn't look new? Well that's because it isn't. What is new is our structure. Over our holiday break a lot has taken place. We are now led by three very experienced people (and gamers). Don Weisal, Dennis Highsmith, and Kevin Cuichta. Also our next event, from here on referred to as Game Days, will be on March 15th. So mark your calendars!
Star Wars 30th Anniversary Celebration
That's right. We are holding our first Star Wars celebration and just in time for its 30th anniversary! We are hosting a number of Star Wars themed events, such as our Costume Contest, as well as our usual array of games, like Warhammer 40,000 and Magic: The Gathering. Click here for more info, and hope to see you there.
Updates
I have been going over the site which a fine tooth comb for the last few days to get everything looking and behaving nicely. I hope it will be easier for everyone to find what they need and enjoy the site.
Dungeons and Dragons • 4th Edition
No need for a Sense Motive check, I'm not lying. Don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Here's the teaser trailer...
4th Edition Players Handbook hits shelves May 2008, the Monster Manual in June 2008, and the Dungeon Masters Guide in July 2008. It seem that 4th edition takes advantage of the internet also, for both good and evil. Here is the presentation in parts one, two, three, and four.
Here are some highlights from the presentation.
- Every 4th edition book comes with a code that lets you download an electronic version of the product.
- Software that can be used to play D&D across the Internet.
- Level 1 - 30 are now in the Core Rules, making "Epic" levels standard.
- Still d20 based, but more "Simplified". No more games grinding to a halt because someone needs to look up how grapple works.
- They mentioned that DnDInsider.com, (the internet part of 4th edition) will have a subscription fee.
The announcement has seemed to meet mixed reactions. I guess we can only wait and see what developments come out between now and May.
