Jul 08, 2009 0:19:26 hey guys ive been holding off on buying all the 4E books, because finding people to play with where i live is like finding a needle in a haystack. anyone have any information "at all" about when this feature is going to be released?

Yep. Look for it shortly after Duke Nukem Forever arrives.

In the meantime though you'll be better served by:
A) Buying the books & forming a real life group the hard way,
B) Developing such an ap yourself. Even if you start from scratch knowing nothing about computers/progamming....

No, not lazy. Just unskilled & unstaffed.

My favorite is MapTool - which you can pick up at rptools.net.

It takes a bit of library building and such, but there is a lot that it can do and it is really easy to use.

You will get a lot more info on this in the DDI General forum.
