[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4937471, member: 67338"] I must put this disclaimer on this whole line of thought...I do not play, or like MMO's...I bearly put up with them around me. I have a small peice of my heart that wants in the year 3009 someone ot open a book (not program) and run D&D 39th edtion, meanwhile...but this is not about what I want but what I see comeing... I think that 3e started down this road already. How many people already say Never winter nights and baulders gate are 'based on' 3e...now somewhere out there people are hopeing for 4e versions... Yea there is going to be a point when the two meet. there will also be a point in witch they will become truely one...I don'r understand where this “the problem of imagination” comes from...in this game of D&D (You pick the edtion) we imagin ourselves...we make up a setting...we make a story...some times we draw our characters...sometimes we use minis some times we use visualizers and game tables... At that point years from now the computer will be our table...our game mat, our minis, our pictures to 'show players'...but it will all come from imagination... just useing a new medium to display it. Now here comes a scary thought. WotC runes 2 dozen survers 6 called LFR, 6 called LGH, 6 called LDS,and 6 called LE...you make your character on a survery...you then can play through the mods DMs have writen...you can't repate or play more then X per Y...in every way it is the current living games...but with metaplot built in. (I feel like I am writing a sequal to Demaliton man now..."all resterants are taco bell") [/QUOTE]
