[QUOTE="Ziusnafallion, post: 7689985, member: 6777931"] Really what I wish someone would produce is an expansive 3d virtual table top of some kind. I think that's always what I'm hoping for in all of these games based on pen-and-paper RPGs. I would look to games like Neverwinter Nights, Sword Coast Legends, Neverwinter (MMO), and PFO with the hope that I could play a virtual (lite) version of an RPG on some level with friends. They all disappoint in this regard (though NWN was close), but have mostly been decent games in their own right. I think the experience I'm always looking for is to be able to log into a game, and essentially play an existing RPG I love with the game auto-calculating what I need it to. To generate and insert my characters into a virtual world, and through them look across the plains or mountains in a virtual environment, and to interact with animated NPCs and creatures. Basically just a graphical representation for a game I already play. If you're the DM, you can prepare a game with a toolset. Random encounters? Okay there's a tool for that based on the (numerous) random encounter generators already out there. Or create your own. Create villains, drop loot, etc. Just make it easy for a DM to run, and fun for players. Sword Coast Legends had some good ideas in this regard, but it ultimately fell way short. Maybe PFO could scrap their mechanics, and build a toolset to just let us login to their virtual world to create our own adventures? I'm sure that would be near impossible not to mention there wouldn't be much of an audience for this sort of product aside from tabletop RPG-ers, but that's my dream. [/QUOTE]
