Picture it: it's back in the day, and you're gathered around ye olde Dungeons and Dragons table for a nerd's night
out of virtual adventure. You've got your imaginations strapped on tight, and perhaps a few pencil graphs of your game
terrain in tow to aid in your quest. Fast-forward to today, when version 2.0 of the gaming table includes a
laptop-based projection system to beam Photoshopped adventure maps masked with only the players' currently visible
areas showing. We suppose it only makes sense that gaming geeks take advantage of the high tech that is their
birthright, but hasn't some text-based charm been rather lost here?

Reminds me vaguely of Audiopad ( http://www.jamespatten.com/audiopad/ )
why bother when there's world of warcraft? more fun and none of the work. signed, ex-diehard d&d'er turned wower.

Yeeeeeah, somehow I don't think that is going to happen. The guys who created this table are obviously willing to put a lot of work and expense into their prefered hobbies in order to develop the quality of their experience. I doubt that they are interested in spending all night long killing the same goblin over and over so that they can gain enough experience levels to eat a fish.
As for the table itself, I'm not crazy about the color. Other than that, this table is an amazing piece of gear. I am very impressed by this achievement.
