Chat participants could create their avatar, then select from a custom assortment, transforming their online presence into an elf, orc, dragonborn, and more (dibs on flumphs). The RPG Live locale could feature a castle, a dungeon, and a sample town, all available for adventurers to explore.   The Tavern would of course be the location where participants could gather and chat. The dungeon would be a multi-level maze featuring sample encounters from D&D (the flooded lower levels are of course mine). The possibilities are endless.   WotC could turn a tidy profit, by selling custom skins for avatars, specialized items, and real estate in their online environment.   Now THAT would be fun!</blockquote>
