If we ever play D&D again...

Man, this is just freakking cool.

I came across this article, which features small snippets of info on 13 of the best electronic versions of D&D.

From a gamers standpoint they all seem cool. But one particular entry caught my eye.

The table top projection setup.



These guys essentially set up a projector on the roof. The DM then uses a laptop to control the map layout. As the players explore the dungeon the map gets exposed and different layers are used to convey spell and item info.

It's just pretty f$cking cool.

i'm down, but we'd need Dan for that as he's the only person I know who has a projector.

Hmm relying on Dan....
suddenly playing D&d in this fashion looks bleak. hehe.
