Thanks for tuning back in, faithful readers and intrepid adventurers. Now that PAX East 2011 is over, the articles are mostly published, and all the geek dust has settled (momentarily, of course), I return to the regularly scheduled programming of the two-year D&D campaign.

This past week, Wizards of the Coast launched its new character builder for Dungeons & Dragons. The new layout is sleek and stylish and provides an easy-to-learn user interface for all your character building needs. Check out the visual tour off of their main website here.
