Hi.

I've found an interesting link on Slashdot. I never played classic RPGs because I didn't really have opportunity. I played some MUDs instead. But I think some of you may find this solution very useful:

I saw that this morning too. It's not a "useful" solution because it costs a lot of money, requires a dedicated gaming table (most of us just clear off the kitchen table), and uses computer interfacing that can be a real hassle.

I saw it, and thought it was very cool, but I'd never even consider doing it myself.

Game on,
