Posted By Matt-M-McElroy On April 1, 2008 @ 6:38 am In News | No Comments

Practical jokes, hoaxes and other funny events mark April 1st in several countries. Publishers and fans of Horror & Dark Fantasy enjoy a good laugh as much as anyone. Here is our ongoing list of April Fools jokes, events and news, stay tuned as we update with new links.

Wizards of the Coast [1] – The new D&D site is certainly interesting. The Name Change Promotion [2] is a great idea!

Steve Jackson Games [3] – GURPS Tank! and a buyout offer from Atlas Games [4] (who incidentally is being bought by Ronin Arts [5], which is being bought by, you guessed it, Steve Jackson Games [6]).

White Wolf LJ [7] – Shadows of Iceland via Bax’s Inside Awesomeness!

Mohawk Media [8] – Mr. T Versus Dracula by Christopher Bunting.

ThinkGeek [9] – My favorites are the Spazztroids – Caffeinated Cereal and the Defensius – Labyrinth Lock.

World of Warcraft [10] – New Hero Class Revealed: Bard and World of Warcraft: The Molten Core™ [11]!

Kingdom of Loathing [12] – is now the Kingdom of Salad.

City of Heroes [13] – Visual Sounds! based on the comic book staple of onomatopoeia.

Dresden Files RPG [14] – It’s time to reveal the mysteries… of the Green Court Vampire!

Wookiepedia [15] – Now entirely in Aurebesh!
