[QUOTE="Charles Rampant, post: 7707066, member: 32659"] I think that one thing I'd love for D&D would be an app that is expressly designed to be a companion to the APs. So you could buy a thing on it to activate, say, Storm King's Thunder, and it will not only have all the combats pre-built as combat encounters with initiative tracking and whatnot, but will also add all of the monsters and magic items to an internal database, and even have story notes and images ready to go for the campaign, so you could use it as a crib sheet and easily show the NPC images to the players. That, I think, would genuinely be a valuable addition to the D&D experience. Whether they will do this is hard to tell. One presumes that a talent pool drawn from video game design is being aimed at producing, you know, video games, so we shall see. I doubt that they are proposing to make Baldur's Gate 3, but we can all dream! Magic already has the various Duels and Planeswalkers and the like, many of which I've played (since MtG is a lot of fun as a single player app, even if I don't play it in person), but I don't see any indication above that they intend to bring that in-house; the text suggests that they are concerned with how to improve networking among their player base, which is probably because they have identified 'ability to get games' as a vital element in their popularity (i.e. it is easier to get a game of Magic, so more people buy into it in order to get games, the cycle of success).
