I agree
1st is what I play most of the time

Nope. Been playing since 1979, when I was 15. Love 1st edition. I'm playing GURPS now though.

whoever is dissing this and whineing is retarded. this is AWSOME. for one you can play 3.5 or any dnd you want with it. its can be used at a REAL TABLE. not just online. (laptop at the gameing table duh) whoever thinks its stupid. go ahead and spend more money on gridpaper random minis and books...

So wait, you can't play online without paying? That's horribly stupid.

Developing software costs LOTS.

who is putting -2 on this guy? its true. its a hell of alot cheaper than buying all of the books at 30$ each

I think you're taking that far too seriously. They will likely support both formats in the long run.

no there not, but you can partition the hard drive and throw xp on it

It looks neat. I'd certainly like to use it as a supplement to my real campaign, but it's certainly no replacement. It would be nice to get together online if we can't physically meet, but I am not willing to pay upwards of 13.95 for that service. With a normal party of 5 plus the DM, we're looking at a minimal of 600 dollars for the entire group. I speak for myself when I say I wouldn't want to roleplay with complete strangers online. D&D is a game meant to be played with friends.
