D&D Insider's Character Visualizer aims to leave little to the imagination.

Oh dear...

Actually I am excited about being able to play over the Internet. Definitely looking forward to DDI. If it doesn't suck I'll be a paying subscriber for sure.

Oh dear...

What would you expect from a character visualizer? A partial sketch of a character that's shrouded in shadow? I don't think that Wizards has an interest at all of going purely digital. I'm glad that the visualizer will be that cool. It just makes sense. This rubs some people the wrong way, but I'm all for it. Usher in cool technology to enhance my games. At the end of the day, I'm still hanging out with all my friends and having a great time.

What would you expect from a character visualizer?

"Leaves little to the imagination" is often a euphemism for "shows the naughty bits." I think Krug was playing on that.
