Hi!

Hey sadjack! I think the closest might be Dungeons & Dragons Online, but as for anything closer, I can't think of anything, but it would be really cool. I think the problem would be pnp mechanics vs video game mechanics. Though most of the D&D games do come pretty close with crossing over and Sword Coast Legends does play into The Sundering in the PnP game, granted, I think that storyline is now over. And each of the PnP adventures WotC put out, enevitably get put into Neverwinter. I for one, would love to see some sort of crossover.

Darkstar, have you run across any pnp-videogame hybrids? I think Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 are a step in that direction from pnp, and Eon Altar from the videogame side. But they don't take pnp into the greater complexity (e.g. combat resolution) and immersion (visuals & audio) that a computer could provide. I like rolling dice and face2face rp, but I keep thinking there's more to be had. Maybe even "VR" instead of tabletop: or shall this be known forevermore as the Sadjack Heresy?

Oh man, that's as painful as losing them by flooding. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out the platform. I've had a lot of fun messing around with Revolution and T&T looks to be a lot of fun too.

Right on, I skipped the FG, was always curious about it. I loved my Complete Book of Dwarves from back in the day! All of my 2nd edition books got sold back in the day while I was in the hospital by my mother. *shakes fist* Boxes of them sold for 50 cents each book, so terrible. I'm distracting the heck out of the guy developing T&T, so once you jump on board with that I'll be around if you ever want to talk for sure!

Hey DM:Mag! I'm always up to talking about gaming and what not. I'm heavily influenced by Fantasy Grounds, but I've also invested in Revolution: Virtual Playspace and Tabletop Simulator and once T&T comes out, will be purchasing that as well. I remember and love 2e AD&D, I think it was more of a love for the game than just to pump out more stuff, despite how many supplements AD&D had. It seems like it's gone to more the almighty dollar sign than the love of the game. I don't know. It's different somehow. I think I still have my Complete Book of Dwarves around somewhere. I lost a lot of books when my basement flooded. :( Ars Magica, (old) World of Darkness, Men In Black, Shadowrun 2e. Gamers are gamers no matter what system.
