2003 Revisions to the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Core Rulebooks

Wizards of the Coast, Inc. has some great news to share with our loyal Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game fans. Since the release of the latest edition of the D&D core rulebooks in 2000, we have listened hard to the reviews, accolades, criticism, and other comments that our fans have contributed about these titles. The past two years have been filled with consumer feedback that has provided us with a wealth of information for making our books richer in depth and gameplay - in short, more opportunity for every fan to enjoy the game a little more.
After gathering this invaluable input from the fans and putting it together with our own observations, it was clear that some targeted revisions in the three core rulebooks would go a long way toward creating the requested improvements in the D&D roleplayer's gaming experience. Therefore, we have incorporated fan comments and suggestions into upcoming revised editions of the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual.
While the overall rules system remains intact, these targeted changes have been designed to help with character play, convey consistency, and improve overall game flow.
The updated core rulebooks will be on store shelves in July 2003, and we will be releasing more details in the months leading up to release. Please watch Dragon Magazine and the Wizards of the Coast, Inc. website for more information.

Knights of the Dinner Table Coming to Custom Dice Bags

Kenzer and Company and The Gamer’s Bag™ are proud to announce a licensing deal allowing The Gamer’s Bag™ to produce official Knights of the Dinner Table® characters on their high-quality custom dice bags and Kippahs. The Gamer’s Bag™ Co-Owners, Brandi and Steven Domkowski, are extremely excited with this opportunity, "Hoody Hoo! Kenzer & Company is like a real game company, my gamer-geek dreams have come true!" said Steven. "Woo-hoo! This is great! Now we can eat!!" said Brandi.

Kenzer and Company representatives were equally enthusiastic about the new relationship, though somewhat less concerned about eating:

B.A. – "I think this will be great. These are high-quality dice bags, and now we’ll get to watch our fans in their games."

Bob – "Adding pencil loops to the bags?! They’re ripping off my pencil sharpener-miniature base idea! At least Dave will never forget his pencil again and have to borrow mine. The only thing worse than touching another man’s pencil is to touch his dice."

Dave – "KEWL! They can even add chainmail neckguards and spikes to the bags! Spikes, dude! I can even use it in melee since the bags come with double drawstrings and grommeted drawstring holes! I wonder why the PHB doesn’t have dice bags on the weapon charts?"

Sarah – "I agree with B.A. Their dice bags are beautiful, triple stitched, and come in over 100 fabric and 14 leather choices, and in four sizes! I hope I end up on a leather bag."

Brian – "Hmmm. They can embroider virtually ANY symbol, logo, name or initials? If I have mine embroidered with magic sigils, I wonder if that would count as a back-up spellbook? I bet I can convince B.A. to allow me to do it."

Brian Jelke, Vice President of Kenzer and Company, was equally excited. "The quality and variety of dice bags available from the Gamer's Bag is very impressive. Perhaps now I’ll stop getting those pesky emails asking for KODT dice bags."
