[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3331918, member: 2067"] Zaruthustran, you speak with wisdom. The biggest problem with doing that is that D&D has had a somewhat sketchy relationship with a lot of new media. Their MMO was underwhelming. Their movie was a dud. It would take a lot for me to trust something like this designed by WotC, honestly. But they can pull it off, and I'd *really* like to see it. In fact, I'd like to see it bundled in with the books. For instance, you buy the newest release, it comes with a disk that allows you to "upgrade" your program with the information from it. Viewing this as a *supplement* to D&D rather than as what D&D would become is the key. Online interfaces would almost never be as able to model the innovative imaginations of four or five human beings, so there'd still be the desire to play around the table. But there'd also be the desire to play *online*, where you can find a group, run a scenario, and be done with it. D&D, I feel, needs almost exactly this.
