Of course, I don't even look at the so-called "D&D" stuff anymore. Does not interest me at all. I kinda worry about the generation of RPGers that is being raised on this stuff, though.

Whatever MMORPG that BioWare is cooking up. Rumors abound of a KotOR Online, and it would be super awesome to have a game fill the void left by Star Wars Galaxies. Hell, it would be great to have any game that's not just a WoW ripoff.
