So is Dungeons and Dragons More like Magic?

I get this feeling that I am playing Magic the Gathering sometimes while playing this latest incarnation of Dungeons and Dragons. 4th edition seems like Wizards has decided to merge Magic into the Dungeons and Dragons.

So is this a bad thing or a good thing? What's your opinion?

Dungeons and Dragons for Almost nothing to free.

With the 4th edition of Dungeons and Dragons around the corner many of us gamers will be purchasing this new edition when it comes out. I know I will and I am glad I have a Paypal account that is set up as a money market also.

I came up with this plan because I will be spending my money on the new products. Only I want to do it in a cost effective way and I would like to earn some money along the way.

Paypals money market account is easy to set up just say yes to that option as a member of Paypal. PayPal Money Market; 30 day yield 4.70%; Min Invest None; Web address paypal.com; Phone number 402-935-7733. The 30 day yield means you will get paid this interest every 30 days.

I have decide to put $35 dollars in my Paypal money market every time I get paid because that is the estimated price of new books. After 30 days I earn $1.65 ( 35 X 4.70% = 1.645 + 35 = 36.65). Now I get paid bi-weekly so $70 dollars a month x 4.70% = 3.29 + 70 = 73.29. The other great thing, is compounded interest so $70 + $73.29 = $143.29 x 4.70% = $6.73 + 143.29 = $150.02. By May you should have earned $57.54 in interest that equals about 1 1/2 books.

Imagine what you could do if you just kept on going build it up to $900 x 4.70% = 42.30 thats a book a month basically for free.

You could do this with new video game releases or systems you could keep on growing that money market and pay for just about anything with the interest earned.

The downside is that you do have to pay taxes because on the interest you earn because it is consider income.

Give it a try and let me know what you thing.

Will Heavy Magic Return to the Realms

I have been noticing that with the new 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons and the future changes of the Forgotten Realms. Like the return of the Empire of Netheral the death of Mystra in 1385 DR Year of the Blue Fire, will heavy magic return to the Realms. I think yes, the weave will be more malleable and with the way the current game and future game of DnD is played it should be easy to make the rules work for heavy magic. Now I think this is more true because of the epic magic that is already used. Perhaps they will just call epic magic heavy magic. It will be interesting to see what unfolds.

4E Dungeons & Dragons; Wizards

With all the new 4e new designs so far I like the wizard ideas I really hope that they are expanded. The other focus I hope to hear about is the psion or psionic characters. Dungeons and Dragons in my opinion just keeps getting better.

Magic saturates the world and all the extraordinary realms beyond the world, an intrinsic force present in literally all things. Magic transforms and alters the natural world, sometimes actively and with sudden effect, other times subtly and over long centuries.

This arcane energy source is difficult to understand and even tougher to master. Wizards do so through years of study, practice, and apprenticeship to accomplished masters.
