So…ran a good game of D&D Next play testing this weekend, and I am now sold on D&D again.  The current version is fast, fun and furious.  Just the right mixture of story telling and combat for my type of play style.

I know most of the games talked about here are anything but mainstream (although Dungeon World is becoming so), but for myself, with 2 careers, 4 kids, the wife and 12,547 in-laws, I’m a little limited to the time I can dedicate learning new games.

Luckily D&D next looks like everything I’m looking for in a game…Fun, and a return to what gaming was like when i first started…so long ago!

anyone else interested in getting something started?

I’m on the South Side of Houston, so I’m kind of fantasizing about getting a group south of the beltway going.

I see a lot of talk on Virtual Desktops, so I’m going to throw my 2 cents worth.  www.fantasygrounds.com

The is cost involved, but in my opinion you get what you pay for.  I’ve bought the unlimited license which lets me host and run multiple games…and doesn’t cost players anything to join.

I’ve successfully used it to host the following games

Basic D&D

Advance D&D

DnD 4e (it’s excellent for this version..as it handles all the little things, and actually speeds up the game)

Warhammer (1st and 2nd editions)

Savage Worlds (in which I ran Deadlands Reloaded)

Anyone else have experience with this one?
