#3 daigotsurezan May 25, 2009 16:02:53	DDI is D&D Insider. You pay a subscription to see pre-release stuff. Nope no DDO or "games tables" are available yet (ever?). Yet. The Virtual Tabletop is still coming, but development is temporarily halted to finish up the GM Tools. An additional monthly fee on top of what you paid for your D&D books is charged for D&D Insider, so you should check out that portion of the website and see if you value what you see as being available.

I'll believe that when it comes out...right now we are at 1 year later...maybe by year 3...
#8 crazysamaritan May 25, 2009 22:54:08	And a very poor one at that...very bland... Well, it does try to use the 3e rule-set (Zing!) ;)
#9 Kensan_Oni May 25, 2009 23:00:07	And a very poor one at that...very bland... Best Dungeons ever made for a MMO, though. Those were fun.

Just to make sure there's no confusion here the VTT has been tabled indefinitely to start on a new set of campaign tools I don't honestly find it likely that we will see the VTT at the current development rate it would be hard to justify the expense after a year or two. I'd personally look elsewhere for your on line experience.

By finish up you mean start right since they didn't have plans for these originally, unlike the game table which has had years in development, with nothing to show for it.

The Dungeon Builder is largely believed to have been merged into the Campaign Tools, and given that it would by far be the largest component of the application (we already have a Monster Builder, which is also believed to be in the CT, though it's of low-quality), it's reasonable to assume that they've simply rebranded the Dungeon Builder and added more features, rather than a new application (I could be /completely/ wrong here)
#13 Kerrus May 29, 2009 0:46:21	the VTT will be here before DNF, at least.

#15 myt3m0w53 May 30, 2009 12:04:57	hmm... i wouldn't mind having the incomplete VTT these still look decent... maybe they tone down the graphics and the dynamicness of it, and we get it 10x's as fast this is what the real world version looks like Really big Image
#16 coppro May 30, 2009 15:56:08	I seriously hope not, I need a much better featured encounter and monster builder more than I need something to layout dungeon maps. The Dungeon Builder was always intended to create encounters with. A monster builder, on the other hand, would be relatively trivial compared to a full-fledged dungeon and encounter layout engine, which is why I'm saying it's likely added on top. I fully expect a fleshed-out monster builder!
#17 markusdark Jun 01, 2009 12:26:57	Yet. The Virtual Tabletop is still coming, but development is temporarily halted to finish up the GM Tools. The VTT is on indefinite hold. I know of quite a few software packages that have been on indefinite hold for over 15 years now. Until someone links to a message with WotC saying, "Yes, we are working on it," you should consider it never happening.
#18 eagleclaww Jun 01, 2009 13:27:32	DnD Online: I beta tested it and wasn't too impressed. Good graphics, but it didn't really offer anything that wasn't already done someplace else. Plus in order to get any decent frame rate, I had to tone down the graphics to almost the minimum. At the time, my computer was still considered fairly decent mid level machine.
#19 felissilvestris Jun 01, 2009 20:33:21	Talking about DDO, it was mostly meh, but had some fun dungeons, that gave me quite some joy, had even Gygax narrating one of them. Also it featured a character visualizer from day 1 at no additional cost!
