Dungeons & Dragons on a multi-touch surface, with support for other RPGs promised? Definitely neat stuff, and it also inspires “now why didn’t I think of that?” moments. A brief 3-minute demo of Surface Scapes follows!
Now if only the creators, students at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC), can come out with a polished final product. I’m pretty sure Wizards of the Coast (WOTC), owners of Dungeons & Dragons, would love this. At the very least, WOTC can turn Surface Scapes into an expensive new toy designed to make die-hard fans spend even more.
Totally immersive and addictive? Check! Let’s hope that future players remember Microsoft Surface isn’t exactly made of hardwood, and is less accommodating of passionate/angry tabletop slamming.
