D&D 4th Edition
bryanthelion:
I'm really pumped for online components. I have alot of online friends, and playing DnD with them over the net (using voice chat) would be extremely fun!

That would be awesome actually. I could totally see a 2D virtual game board, like a grid, where the "DM" would have control over where to put things and all the calculations. He could have a mute button for everyone else like when things get out of hand (as they often do), and instead of rendered monsters and characters as markers on th grid, it could just be jpgs of bottlecaps, extra dice, crumpled paper and other various thing's we've used to represent us, but the way it was portrayed in the video I saw, it looked more like a turn-based video game being played. I don't now, maybe I'm just a little skeptical of further distancing ourselves from other human beings for a form of entertainment.

I don't really see how it looks like a video game outside of it being a digital form of what you'd be using a map for (assuming you do) in the first place.
Really, no one is going to be using it regularly unless the group you play with can't play in meatlife anymore, in which case it would be awesome.
bryanthelion:
Actually, I might use it.
I dont like the idea of hauling miniatures everywhere with me. That and buying a fuckload just to get 3 koblods. I know you guys are thinking "Just use a piece of paper.." But I'm a purist. It must be uniform.
Alex C:
Shit, I'm just excited by the fact that a decent well-supported online play system means that maybe I could actually just play for once. The potential this thing has for people simply to break out of their ruts and try their hand with a different group for once to see what it's like is immense.
