Speaking of Interplay (publishers of Descent 3, from the story above), they send along word that once again they are looking for participants for a focus group about gaming. Here's the skinny:

Interplay is looking for more playtesters to participate in some upcoming focus groups. Applicants must live in the LA/Orange County, CA area. If interested, please send a message to betatest@interplay.com with the words "focus group" as the message subject. Participants will receive a free Interplay game of their choice.
