By Dylan Miracle

Thursday night, Dungeons and Dragons fans gathered at Dragon's Lair on North Burnet for the midnight release of the fourth-edition Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks. In case you don't know, Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game where players make characters and play in a heroic fantasy world invented and maintained by the Dungeon Master, usually the most megalomaniacal of your friends. The players decide the actions of their characters. The success or failure of the actions are determined by a roll of a die - often a 20-sided die rolled to see if your long sword cleaves the head off a goblin.

In the heart of the Demonweb, Lolth surveyed the Grand Council Chamber and the demon lords assembled by her invitation. Throaty growls indicated a dispute among Yeenoghu's pack. Obox-ob's insect swarms chittered while Demogorgon ranted from the central podium. The other emissaries seemed restless. Across the hall, Graz'zt met Lolth's gaze and smiled. The demon queen shivered with a tingle of foreboding.

Delve into the Darkling Depths

The oily waves of a sunless sea roll to a pebble-strewn shore, beyond which opens a wide Underdark vista shimmering with pale cave-light. Titanic columns as big as castles march miles into the misted distance. The wide, steeply sloping base of the nearest colossal column is carved with streets, walls, and elaborate structures, many with gaping, empty windows. A few glimmer with faint illumination. Are you brave enough to explore the spire-city and face the terrors that lurk within?
