[ddo] Virtual Tabletop

[Leigh Murphy]

I started DDO in order to get a good DND buzz up again, and play with you
guys. I loved PNP in college, and I would be interested to see how this
would pan out. An intriguing idea, definitely and a chance to start over
without the drudgery of repeating quests or REP runs. The new content is
fun, we're playing tight little team now but I still am right clicking the
ass off my mouse every evening, and tumbling and eventually getting
squished. There will be more control in a PNP situation, thought a lot of it
will be new to me as I haven't played the new rules. I do have the newest
PHB though.
Surely the computer guru's in our group could write a dice prog in like 1
hour?
We could see if Conor wanted back in and see if Chop would like to start up
with us as well. No maximum party players, no confinements.

"Aye"
