[ddo] Virtual Tabletop

Sun Feb 4 12:38:33 GMT 2007

I have being playing with the demo and it is very good. It seems  
however that you have to preload a lot of content, where-as I would  
like to load as I go on some stuff.

I dont know if players can draw on stuff or post content?

In answer to some of the other questions. I would be willing to DM  
and I have tons of content which I have been wanting to play people  
through for years, and also I know that Joe and Bren are interested  
in such a game.
