This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

Well, I've found my new desktop wallpaper, anyway :lol:

It's not an April Fool's joke, it's f-ing prophecy.

Go to the About page; it's a guys joke - but like us, it's a black humor 'welcome to the future' joke.

Would you believe people have been talking about 5th Edition since 2009? There seems to be a lot of talk about it now in 2011, but there was a lot back then. It was in November that I mocked up a fake wotc page screenshot foretelling the coming of 5th Edition. In the screenshot it suggests visiting dnd5.com for more info. If you went there (back then) I had simply put up a page/graphic stating "5e Dungeons and Dragons Coming Soon!"

Well, I decided to take that joke a step farther now 2 years later by building out a page for a parody version of what 5th Edition could look like. I also decided it would be best to coincide the release with April 1st (for obvious reasons).

I do like some of his 'end of the DM!' links and such, and 'We've made it impossible to die!' - good stuff.
