By incorporating computer gaming conventions the game design is walking the middle path. I don't know how much stock is being put into these virtual minis by WotC but that just sounds like a bad idea to me. It alienates those that don't want computers in their RPG and probably won't fulfill the desires of avid CRPG/MMO players.In the grander scope of the game itself why would those more inclined to virtual gaming take a perceived step backward to PnP. At the same time some traditional gamers have voiced that they don't want to feel like they're playing a video game.Ultimately whatever is being voiced by the public has an element of truth to it. Whatever is  being said there is a segment that adheres to it. I think it's risky to alienate a group that says they want what is traditional. Change the game, sure. But too radically and you might lose a group that you formerly relied on and be unable to make up the difference with that new and desired crop of consumers because they are already consuming something they perceive to be more advanced than your latest breakthrough.Or so I think. YMMV and all that.</blockquote>
