Star Wars Wednesday - Blue Ghost of Star Wars' Future

in

So, today's* astonishing news can be summed up in about 6 words:

Disney buys Lucasfilm. Seven. Eight. Nine.

Dragon 416 - History Check: Strahd and van Richten

Dragon issue 416 went live today on D&D Insider. This time, it's a look at Ravenloft, just in time for Halloween. Kicking things off is my article in the ongoing History Check series, featuring D&D and Ravenloft icons Strahd von Zarovitch and Dr. Rudolph van Richten.

Wizards of the Coast is testing a new release method for Dungeon and Dragon magazines this month. They are releasing each as a full issue via PDF, instead of posting the content a little bit at a time throughout the month.

If you like the new method, which I do, be sure to let them know somehow (forums, twitter, etc.).
