Questions by Cody "Micajah" Bye, Managing Editor
Answers by Randy Buehler, VP of Digital Gaming

So it came as no surprise when WotC announced that they were developing a series of digital programs, collectively dubbed D&D Insider. Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye has been closely following the development of D&D Insider, and he recently interview Wizard's VP of Digital Gaming, Randy Buehler, to learn about the status of D&D Insider.

All liars must be taught a lesson! All liars are now to be stabbed with sharp pointy objects so that they learn the error of their ways. So let's just this over with. :P
