Today's nerd-check video: D&D 4th Edition

Gen Con Indianapolis is building to its peak, and the gaming convention hosts news about Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. YouTube user, GamerZer0, is on location for the announcement, shooting the initial presentation and overview of the new rules.

Due out in the middle of 2008, the rule update to the tabletop game includes (optional) computers more than ever. Dungeon Masters can wield simple web tools to outline levels, traps, and other parts of the game. Individual players can use the web interface to create a character's stats and appearance. And players will be able to meet online in addition to their parents' basement, avoiding all of the interpersonal game-behind-the-game.

Watch four long videos after the break, and visit GamerZer0's page for more Gen Con geekery.
