Star Wars Saga Rules

It looks like WOTC is coming out with a revised rule set for Star Wars in May 07. The idea is they are reducing the classes and creating talent trees based on concepts first used in Modern D-20. This is supposed to allow players to create the characters they want in the Star Wars universe without limiting choices as the old system at time seem to become cumbersome at times in character creation. I am interested to see these changes in action and see if they were able to simplify combat in the D-20 system as I have found from playing D-20, combat can be time consuming compared to other role-playing products currently out like Savage Worlds. I look forward to seeing how it develops as I liked alot of the ideas of D-20 Modern.

LOTRO Open Beta Begins Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be exciting as LOTRO is in it's final stages before it goes live on April 24th. After pre-ordering I look forward to trying out the Loremaster class again after hearing some feedback on the forums that it is now a underpowered class and needs some tweaks. I would like to see if this is true or not. I plan to play on the Elendilmir server. So here we go to Middle Earth.

I will be posting the adventures of my character as time goes on.
