I'd like to think the form will change in some way - I'm past the idea we'll ever have any form of mental immersion interface, but I think that somehow very small computers may play a part in it. Who knows what will happen in 30 years, but almost nothing has really changed on the gaming front in the last 25, so... The system will be different, probably something like D&D 6th? d50? But I think we might still be going over to each others houses (up on stilts because of rising water levels), toting Mountain Dew (after the Cola Wars of 2021, all drinks are now Mountain Dew...), carrying pens and pencils (that also serve as phones, pagers, mini-servers), and rolling dice (made from glass since we gave up oil and thus plastic long ago), using miniatures (And Bob has one of the cool new ones made from memory metals that make it a 3D duplicate of that cool elf picture he found on WorldNet last night) and fighting over who was where when that fireball went off.</blockquote>
