We showed off the early concept and design of how Dungeons and Dragons could be played on Microsoft’s Surface device. Now, thanks to the geeks at Crunch Gear, we get to see some actual game play.

It might take the Critical Hits crew a bit of time to get the MS SUrface, but one of you should go ahead and start growing the ‘fro!
(That was coo by the way)
Cool. I meant ‘cool’. Dang it.
No one is prefect… don’t worry about it.
Prefection always escapes me!
I think too many people get hung up on everyone else being perfect all the time, and probably don’t look themselves in the eye every morning. You make mistakes, and I make mistakes, and we are more than happy to admit and correct those errors.
“Prefection” … get it?
Good advice though.
I love the idea, it would just be a beast to use. Also I hate virtual dice, I think part of the fun of playing D&D is the dice. I would like to see more concepts though.
Perhaps something keyed into the MS Surface that can recognize your dice when they land on the surface and read the number on top.
Wow it looks like this version still needs a LOT of tweaking even though it’s been some time. They were having problems even confirming targets. This is silly. If you had a Microsoft’s Surface already I can see getting this program but buying one for this purpose would be madness.
That’s really cool! Sadly, it’s $12,500.00 That’s about $12,500.00 more money than I have…
