Unveiling my inner geek: Microsoft Surface meets Dungeons and Dragons

View comments

October 23, 2009 |

It’s time to unveil my inner geek. I saw this video and was immediately entranced.

I’ve been a pen and paper gamer for years, but haven’t a chance recently. And the strides taken, particularly by Bioware/Black Isle, have made the computer experience as good, if not better.

But if we can find a way to use a tabletop to do the annoying calculations and record keeping while still keeping the improvisation, imagination and free-flowing experience that marks out a perfect roleplaying session, sign me up.

And, above all, this will finally make one of my favourite games of all time a joy to play. Steve Jackson, please can we have Car Wars on the Microsoft Surface Table. Pretty please.
