Virtual Table web based?

[Filcher]

Is the virtual gaming table supposed to be web based or are Mac users screwed?

(Suppose I could use an emulator, but not w/o an upgrade.)

I have heard that there is a downloaded portion and it will be Windows based. There is also a web based component, but I do not know how much.

There has been some grumbling about Mac users getting screwed.

Here is the collected 4E info on DDI.

Here is a quote from the page:

Q: Will I need internet access to use D&D Insider

Answer: The D&D game table and the character builder are windows applications driven by a 3D-engine (DirectX based).

The character sheet, dungeon builder and encounter builder will be standard windows application.

You will indeed need to access the internet and be a D&DI subscriber to use these applications to their fullest potential.
