[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 4767828, member: 50895"] [b]Tabletop only...[/b] Regarding number 1, its the same I feel about all electronic gaming, which is nothing because I don't/won't do it. Regarding VT with it's intention to being able to play when your friends are far away, though I get it, and can approve of it, it doesn't describe my situation at all. Today is Saturday, its game day, we meet at one of three houses depending on who is hosting the game, and real people drive to that one location and play until the wee hours of the morning. I own Battleground and have become adept at MapTools, however, the other players don't want me to bring a laptop or projector into the game. We use miniatures, a drawing board for a map, sometime I print our gaming maps, books, dice, P&P - sodas and munchies. That' how I've always played the game. So VTs while interesting is a non-issue. Of course #2 then, doesn't apply to me. And #3, if I played online, and that would only happen if you're talking Virtual Tabletop and my gaming situation changed (like I moved or something). Then it would be using MapTool because its a great VT app, its free, and my fellow players would not have to pay for it to participate. (DDI - means nothing and couldn't mean anything ever... for my games, anyway. Its a non-issue.) Even though I am willing to buy a VT app, they (the other players) are not. So I don't really see that happening. And in reality if I moved, I'd just find another gaming group or convert new friend non-gamers into gamers, I probably wouldn't ever consider online gaming at anytime. GP PS: I see I misread #3, but as a final note, I could care less what Hasbro/WotC does with the game electronically or otherwise, I play 3.5 and will go to Pathfinder when its available. WotC's current toolset and direction, is not where I'm going ever. [/QUOTE]
