[ddo] Virtual Tabletop

Sun Feb 4 12:47:45 GMT 2007

I am 100 % up for it, we can get the bumper pack bundle for a pittance, 1
full and 4 lites for about $80. For a once off that's cheap. Alternatively,
it can be torrented. We *could* have a look using that before buying
something we won't like...
If this is a go can we get a vote or something, or a show of hands?
I will drop DDO as I will only have 1 night a week (until Summer anyway),
and we could hook up on TS to have a proper look at the software and discuss
char generation, who wants what etc.
Don't tell Dalton as he'll only kill the prince of the fairies again. B)
