The Wednesday Video
It is amazing to me how far this came before the whole project was scrubbed. It kinda makes me sad. I was really excited about playing D&D with my friends in Texas. It’s just sort of sadly interesting now.
We had grand plans and we were overly ambitious in what could actually be accomplished in the time we had. We don’t want to overextend or overpromise anymore. We’re going to finish the D&D Character Builder, then take stock of where we are and what we can and should concentrate on next. Things are in the works, and I look forward to the day when the whole grand plan comes together. But we’ll be more realistic in our goals and timelines moving forward.

Basically a version of GameTable that wanted to be 3D.
But GameTable exists already (and supports so many different games) so I never really got interested in the 4e thing. Since GameTable is, you know, free and all.
On the other hand, maybe the map making was easier. Oh well.
I have never checked out Gametable.
But I will.
Sorry, I tried. Doesn’t seem to have any Mac compatibility… and I’m really leery of downloading anything onto my PC.
It really is a gorgeous program. It and a voice chat program (skype) will get you 50% of an actual D&D game – the lack of facial expressions et cetera really do cause online D&D to miss something substantial.
Ahhhh, classic Enkidu style. Classic.
So, Mr. Dear GM, is Enkidu ever getting his charming looks back? I mean, the pig face matches his pig spirit, but he kinda looks like a crossover between a pig, an orc and a meatball. It’s insulting, degrading and an excellent punishment, but c’mon, did you have to take away his cigar?!
So exactly how many spoilers do you want?
In lieu of spoilers, you could just complete the next 100 strips tonight…..
That’s the worst part about having found a great web comic and finishing the archive…..the pace goes from “as fast as you can read them” to the regular schedule. The Archive Binge tool that DMM set up helps offset this full-bore to normal speed drop (http://www.mezzacotta.net/?p=234).
At least us H.O.L.E. readers are spoilt rotten by updates every day
Not like almost every other webco
Aw… you DO love me!
I kinda like the pig look, but him as a him again would be sweet. And I agree, we need the cigar back. Cigars = cool. Or so people like Enkidu assume.
I thought people like Enkidu assume that “biker leather jacket = cool”?
He probably wears his sunglasses at night too.
Y’know, I just plumb forgot the cigar. Will do!
Dear DM,
what was your favorite Famous Last Words line or scene, that you personally witnessed?
Dear DM has a good one…
OMG – that presentation was boring… I love roleplaying, have played my part of different systems and have rarely seen something that can beat good old GM-imagination and a bit of the oldfasioned hard work… finding nice pictures, photocopying, printing, cutting out, gluing and making handouts… But HEY – the real deal is (…spoiler, guys!) it’s all in the head!
The modern media is trying to monopolize our imaginations – so that we no longer can entertain ourselvers without their products… we become poor, both in monetary means but most important in using our imaginations!
I think you may have been missing something… (Not that it wasn’t a boring presentation.)
The virtual table wasn’t meant as a replacement for getting together, but as an aid for people who couldn’t get together. My hope was to use it to play with my friends who now live over a thousand miles away. The old fashioned hard work falls a little short here.
