Interesting Stuff On the Interwebs

Found a few interesting things today as I poked around the Interwebs that I thought I would share.
The first is a fresh attempt at a miniatures rating site called Paintitsu. It is a bit thin on figures as it just started, but they have some nice models to look at and the site is much cleaner than Cool Mini or Not, the classic mini rating site.
Next up is interesting discussion on the versions of D&D and how they fit the Roll Playing vs Role Playing model at The Fine Art of the TPK. I am of the opinion that it is all D&D and version wars are over hyped, but the discussion is pretty civil and raises some interesting points. Sad story about his local gaming store in the post, shop owner sounds like he is on the fast train to stupidville to me.
Next up is an interesting discussion on the 4e D&D paladin’s divine challenge at the At Will site. I am not sure why they feel the mark needs a tweek, I think it is the best mark in the game as it is, but it is interesting to see what house rules people are trying. The whole site is well worth a poke around if you are interested in 4e D&D.
Lastly an interesting post at The Core Mechanic pointing out the the new Player Handbook 2 for 4e D&D made it to #14 the Wall Street Journal Best Seller list for the week it came out. I am seeing the new edition of the game bring a lot of people back to Dungeons and Dragons who left for long periods of time, I am pleased to see that is giving the WOTC guys good sales. The Core Mechanic seems to be another very good site for D&D news and ideas, well worth adding their feed.
