• At this point the imagination is lost a bit but we still have infinite options(even if the technology doesn't support it). In a computer game, choices are limited to what has been programmed. In pen and paper you are able to be as creative as you want. The real problem with this sort of setup is the players are less likely to be creative and things can get boring. The reality is this is really no different then a roll out map and miniatures except it solves the problem of perspective and meta-gaming that is sometime rampant.

• Just wondered if you'd seen this about Natal http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8077369.stm

• Pfah! Minis suck. If you players want a map, then DRAW ONE as I, the DM, describe it to you. I'm not giving you fucking visual aids in a game that is meant to require you to use your imagination. You D&D players today are such wimps. You want me to use Photoshop to paint you a picture of the kobold that's raping your corpse, too?

• Somebody please remind me why, when we reach this point, we're not just playing a videogame RPG instead?

• I do a similar thing with my laptop. I hook it up to the TV and dual screen. But I keep the maps hidden and then I update them in photoshop on my screen and then save them and upload them in a web browser. I use tabs for people with different views, so I can keep multiple maps open at the same time and flip them for each character. When a change is made, I just save the new images, and refresh the tab. It gives a lot more realism to the dungeon delving.

• I just had an orgasm. Wednesday nights is about to get more interesting.

• If this technology was available when I was 14 and at the apex of my D&D nerdery, I would have murdered both my parents to acquire it I think.

• I am kinda amused that I actually know the map they used, it is from a premade campaign, that I was running my D&D crew through a couple weeks ago.

• Nerdery of the highest order.
