This is quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen in RPGs in a very long time.
I know you die-hards out there will never let table-top gaming die, but this could add a whole new generation of table-top gamers into the mix.

where can i get one of these?
I don’t know. As far as I can tell, it’s still in beta. The Surface technology from Microsoft is also not quite ready for commercial use either.
Just have to wait and see. Here’s the team’s website: http://www.etc.cmu.edu/projects/surfacescapes/
I saw this demonstrated at GenCon 2010. Looks pretty awesome!
I would absolutely hate gaming that way. D&D is supposed to be a table top RPG not a video game (unless your playing 4e I guess). Virtual dice? That’s just sad.
Wow, bravo. Good to see SCS students are still creating the state of the art software for gaming in virtual worlds. I think Randy Pausch would be proud. =D
