[QUOTE="Dremmen, post: 3304298, member: 30977"] A D&D world digitized and interactive BUT still pen & paper. :confused: OK, what I see is either a new campaign world, or say the Forgotten Realms, given its own web space. Within these pages would be all the necessary supporting material - an overall map that one can zoom around and make close up maps for games. Hot links for dungeons and hot spots that take you to other maps, etc. Important NPCs with the character sheets ready to be printed out. BEYOND that however, each person signs in a gets to *post* their character. That is, you transcribe your pen & paper character to an online database. Specially important are the character's background and where he/she is, what she is doing, etc. Then that character is part of the world, and other DMs can pull those characters for NPC purposes when it is appropriate. For example, if Miriam the Efeminate, an elf bard, usually spends his time (according to his background) at the Smelly Boot Inn in Shackford as a part time performer, part time bounty hunter, then if I'm running a game close to Shackford, and I need an NPC to a plot hook, then I can have them meet Miriam at that Inn. And maybe post in Miriam's space what happened with him there. If it is a new campaign world, maybe they could take contributions as to new dungeons or towns, and add them to the online world. Just an idea. [/QUOTE]
