• Wired has a look at the new fourth edition of D&D, complete with scans of the new character sheets. Tiefling Wizard anyone?
• If you're wonder what the Diablo II clone, Mythos looks like, then head on over to Compuer and Video Games for a 5 minute gameplay video that shows off the upcoming 3rd zone. I'm in Mythos and really like it. If I ever get any more invites, I can hand them out if needed.
• At the GDC08, Abandon Interactive unveiled their new kid friendly MMO, Freaky Creature. Think Webkins crossed with Pokemon, wrapped up in a cage match. You buy the figure at the store, bring it home, pop the included flash drive in and upload your furry monster to the website, then set them loose on one another in grudge match only Michael Vic could love. OK, I don't know if the Vicster loves to fight virtual monsters, just doggies.
• You want to know more about Realtime Worlds' new MMO, All Points Bulletin? How's this: No grind. That's right, gone are the days of grinding monsters to reach the next level. There is no experience point system at all. Instead, they are focusing on gameplay and customization. Count me in.
• I think I've found the perfect game for Kevin: Mabinogi. Not only are they giving away 10000 cowboy hats, but fishing looks to play a large part in the game, along with other exciting pastimes like farming and mining! Woot!
• Here's a new SF board game to keep an eye on: Ascendency. Sounds a bit like the old Cosmic Encounter.
• The new 360 horror/SF game, Dead Space, now has it's own 6 issue comic from Image Comics. How does that work where an unreleased game gets a comic series?

I actually have an invite to the beta that I forgot about. Maybe I will try to load it tonight.
