Dungeons &… Tiamat?

If you have ever played AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) – namely, 2nd Edition (still my pers

onal favorite, but that’s neither here nor there) – you probably know who Tiamat is. Or if you have ever watched the Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon, you should remember who Tiamat is. If you’re a Dragonlance fan, you probably know her as Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness.

Regardless of being an old AD&D gamer, a Dragonlance fan, or a fan of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon – you knew Tiamat, no matter her name, was someone not to be messed with. And she’s always been someone that I have always really enjoyed! Well, the folks of Paizo, along with Wizards of the Coast, seem to be giving her a huge push!

She’s being featured on the cover of the Art of Dragon Magazine, as well as the Dungeons & Dragons Minatures, and she also made the cover of this month’s Dragon Magazine. So I would definitely check those out. Or suffer the wrath that Tiamat delivers to your home.

In other news, Bioware is celebrating 3 million community members. 3 friggin’ million. And here we are at NeN with like 75, and only like 10 regular posters (and even that’s slowed down since we’re between seasons!) But that is also neither here nor there – the reason I am mentioning this is because you can enter to win stuff like:

So I would head over there and check that out.

Also, the new Bloodspell Interview is up on the Bioware page – but most importantly, NeN is listed as one of the links at the bottom of the interview! Like I always say, they save the best for last! That’s my thinking!

And as for the E3 pictures – well finally got them – and realized I didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I had thought. There’s only like five that deal with Neverwinter Nights 2, then 3 pictures of Illidan (of Warcraft III fame), and then a few other scattered pictures.
