Dungeons & Dragons & Microsoft Surface Is Looking Sweet
If there is seriously a use for Microsoft’s crazy-ass Surfacescapes tech besides Dungeons & Dragons, I have no idea what it might be. Admittedly, I’m not a major tech guy, but the only times I ever hear about the Surface is when it’s debuting some new D&D functionality, which I think is both hilarious and awesome. This new video demonstrates the combat, rolling dice, and most importantly, the Dungeon Master’s screen (i.e., his laptop, connected to the surface). God help me, I could watch this shit all day.
