[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 4743725, member: 2072"] If the DDI had the 1e-3e PDF's formerly available at Paizo and RPGNow, I might take a gander, so long as I could download said items instead of having to log into a DDI account just to view them. As with iTunes, I prefer to own what I pay for, not just rent it. If the DDI supported all editions of D&D, including splatbooks, and worked seamlessly across all platforms, I might take a look. The dungeon builder would need to support a z-axis. The character builder needs to support all monsters as playable options. In short, this is what I want: First, we present “My Monster Manual”. You begin with a database of thousands of entries. Next, you choose which monsters you wish to have in your book. Illustrations, information regarding monster ecologies, world-specific information, and player character racial traits may be included if desired. Then, simply select “Order” and your Monster Manual is printed and shipped to your door. Next, using the videoconferencing engine from iChat, we present “iGamer”, the Virtual Tabletop for the rest of us. Utilizing the technologies behind QuickTime VR, iGamer presents a real-time three-dimensional interface, where your virtual miniature avatar or Minitar, is placed in a virtual world of the creator’s design. iGamer is compatible with landscapes designed in Bryce, Vue, and associated rendering engines. Minitars may be imported from a host of compatible applications such as Poser and DAZ Studio and may be exported as avatars for use in Second Life. To enhance your gaming experience, GarageBand has been integrated into iGamer, for the inclusion of background music and sound effects. iGamer has been optimized for use with Apple’s upcoming product releases; a 3D mouse that we have dubbed the Flying Fox (a fruit-loving flying mouse), Stereoscopic Display, and Head-Mounted Display. Moving on, we come to the new iTunes Gaming Store. Electronic files of current gaming books from Wizards of the Coast and participating third-party publishers, as well as digital magazines Dragon and Dungeon, are encoded with proprietary DRM protection and available for purchase. You may share these files with up to five friends who subscribe to our new Mobile Me service, which recently replaced .Mac. Files created with iPlay ’09 have been optimized for viewing on the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. To enhance iPlay ’09, we have created a compilation including the iPlay Jam Pack, a section of sound effects and looping mood music for GarageBand, iPlay web templates for use in creating iWeb blogs, and iChat video effects including dungeon and tavern backgrounds. These limited-time releases are available to all Mobile Me subscribers. For those who wish to mix elements from their iGamer sessions with their face-to-face campaigns, Minitar data may be exported into a proprietary format, for use with Desktop Factory.
