Need to be sold on Klooge eh? Well maybe I can help. My group of players are scattered to the winds and live in many states so we had to resort to online DnD. Klooge was the obvious best choice for the ease of use and amount of features. About twice a year though we all get together and play face to face. The last time we played we tried using Klooge and man was it great. It made it so the game flowed a lot smoother and with less pauses. I use it to help ease game play when I play face to face, not for the sound effects or graphics. Sounds like what you might be looking for. For example when one of my players walks through the extented threat zone of an ogre wielding a halberd a circle automatically is drawn around the ogre to show me that the PC has entered a threat zone. This is just an example of how Klooge makes it easier for me, the DM, to run a game.

I keep all kinds of info and data handy on Klooge that is neatly organized so I am not fumbling through papers. The more I use it the more neat things I find to make DMing easier.

So for me it has been great. In fact I would say its the best DnD product I have bought (besides the Core Rules obvioulsy).

If you are interested I would go to the Klooge message boards at: http://www.kloogeinc.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi. The creator of it is very helpful. Tell him what you are looking for and he will tell you if its for you or not. And if its not tell him what you want and who knows you might get it. I have asked for a couple of features to be added and two weeks later viola they were added.

Well that's my attempt at being an honest salesman anyway. Either way I hope that helps make up your mind.
