GMA Trade Show 2009 Dungeons and Dragons Seminar

http://www.livingdice.com/1639/gts-2009-dungeons-and-dragons-seminar/

The blogger Trask (from www.LivingDice.com) was at GAMA and blogged about the contents of Scott Rouse's 4E seminar.

You can see the information here.

An interesting point was brought up by The Rouse:
  • “Dungeons and Dragons Insider” has doubled subscribers base since January.

Interesting statistics, I like to see our hobby growing, also like seeing that out of the other 46% most don't hold stigma against our hobby.

Of course this blurb
Overview of existing D&D Insider features. future applications include “Campaign Tools” for monsters, enounters, maps and adventures for DMs.

begs the question... did they talk about the friggin virtual table?

As far as I can tell, virtual table is backburnered based on the survey responses. That is my interpretation of their comments about the survey, so obviously I could be wrong, but it looked like they were looking to see what the biggest response from the survey is, and were going to head that direction.

It seems to me that the VTT has been sidelined and new tools that we have yet to hear of are being constructed.

I'm excited for these new tools, but... I still will miss the idea of having a VTT.

(I reserve the right to be totally wrong)

Given that they had to go and give us a huge banner add in the core three books for the product I would appriciate it if they would actually state a year later whether it is still in the works or not. That's all confirmation one way or the other, not implications from a survey.

Insider subscriber base has doubled since January. Yay, I only hope the starting number wasn't too small. At least it's increasing. I'd be really worried if it wasn't. I'm also looking foreward to more podcast type stuff.

I'm going to guess that the campaign tool for maps is the dungeon builder. They have to make this tool before they can make the game table. The game table would be useless if we don't have maps to play on.
