De Profundis
September 22nd, 2011 Dan I’ve just uploaded a high def video of the un-boxing of this expansion to our Youtube channel.

Wizards of the Coast Report
August 26th, 2011 Dan In a word Wizard’s of the Coast Gen Con presence came down to one theme..Neverwinter. This setting holds a special place in my memories going back to the original game on AOL.
