		<description><![CDATA[I guess 3D is the latest craze in movie theaters (though it seems gimmicky to me, just like it did in the 80s). Harrowing Halls, the latest set of Dungeon Tiles from Wizards of the Coast, makes the jump from two to three dimensions as well, but you don&#8217;t need uncomfortable plastic glasses to enjoy [...]
