IP to IP connections are quite easy these days and don't require the middle man to run a special server in order to play D&D online. not even if it has special graphics. NWN can already do that with a windows or linux based machine. pretty graphics all over the place and the DM can half-assedly do what he needs to do in the confines of the program. i would rather jsut play-by-post on a free forum site that pay for anything special from WotC. this doesn't even consider that they may not offer or be able to offer my RPG of choice. nope. you can keep your subscription fees and your worthless online service. i prefer self contained software that i can use without connecting to the internet. then i could have a LAN (local area network) party for D&D. i don't want a tabletop MMO! no thanks! MMOs are dead to me.

So everyone playing in the digital "world" (that is to say if they are playing via internet and not just wiring up the virtual tabletop to a wall projector) can refrence and see the sheets and edit them in real time?

It stated that you don't need to sign up, but when I tried to login I was getting a bug that removed my email address and replaced it with Guest. I could login as guest. I gotta think they are giving the Gen Con attendees the first looks.

I've heard a lot over the last 24 hours about the marriage between the published products and the online extended content. It's been mentioned that physical supplements will include codes to unlock online functionality, for instance. As a DM, I've loved the organization of the encounter format for the last few published adventures, and it sounds like a format similar to that is going to be used for 4e. Are you currently planning to have entire encounters as unlockable online content, fully prepared to drop into the Game Table application? For instance, if I purchase Keep of the Shadowfell and want to play it on Game Table, will my D&D Insider code allow me to seamlessly import entire encounters from that adventure into the Game Table application? This could be rather time-intensive from a development standpoint, but if possible would be an incredible asset for DMs looking to run online games to have. Is anything like this in the works, or is that just not feasible to implement?

I want to be able to e-mail (instead of photocopy) pre made encounter info that also double as invites for my players! As a long time DM it's a no brainer I'm going to sign up for the online content and table top, but I hope my players will be able to play the online table top I DM without having to pay a fee themselves? I'm really excited about the merge of online and print D&D. I actually bought a lot of tools that did a ton of this for 3rd edition and my players loved it. The downside was me bringing my laptop to every game, this way everyone can avoide the drive and spend more time playing!
