[ddo] Virtual Tabletop

Sun Feb 4 22:18:35 GMT 2007

I'm up for this and Bren has expressed an interest too.

Let's keep fishing around for the right tool(s) and then have a get  
together to discuss.

Personally, I won't be giving up DDO for it because I love DDO for  
what it is... it's not PnP but as an MMO it's enjoyable :)

I'm nearly 9th level!!! :)

Someone propose a date then for an initial "tool selecting" meet.
