@Razzle Bathbone: You have it exactly.

The concept is to allow the use of virtual miniatures over an internet connection for people who aren't able for whatever reason to play in person.

One of the benefits of D&Di is that if you buy a module, the map will be available. If you buy a pack of Dungeon Tiles, they will be available.

As a Mac user, I'm pretty dissapointed they chose to use their DirectX engine rather than developing cross-platform. It certainly could have been done, but such has always been the Mac user's lot.

Having followed the project closely since its announcement at GenCon, my inference is that the project timeline was dramatically stepped up, forcing a number of poor decisions on their part. My expectation is that the D&Di won't be as good as hoped, or deliver on promises, which is kind of sad.

Don't cry for me Furyondy.

No friends yet.
