    Yes, yet another Stomreach preview. The Wargamer this time. Here's a clip:

    When I first started the Dungeons & Dragons Online Beta, I wasn’t sure what to expect. As a long time player of Dungeons & Dragons in tabletop form, I was familiar enough with the game and the rules to have certain expectations, but I was not sure how those expectations would be translated into a PC game. At first glance, it is very easy to dismiss it as a knock-off of World of Warcraft, EverQuest II, or any other fantasy MMO.

    This impression would be completely incorrect. More than anything else, I was struck by the sense this game was more like D&D than any other fantasy MMO I’ve played. The game not only has the staple D&D classes, but implements them in such a way that each class is important without overshadowing the others. The onscreen 20-sided die (d20) shows the results of each die roll and Dungeon Master (DM) text keeps the spirit and feel of the game close to its D&D roots.

    And the rest of it awaits you at The Wargamer.
