This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

WTF is Wotc up to?

I recently evaluated a bunch of virtual gaming tabletop programs. (This is really a better topic for another thread..) and settled on FantasyGrounds as my favorite. It isn't as cheap as ScreenMonkey (and I'm all for cheap), but it has some dynamic features I like. I have now logged about 9 sessions with it, and I think I could get used to running a game with it. Doesn't replace my weekly group yet, though!

But to bring this back to topic: I don't know if it will have much of a tabletop emulator on there- it's pure web. That would be very cool. There's defintiely the potential because even now, they have sponsored games running on the Wizards chat-server.

I'm hoping it has all kinds of features though.

I think a lot can be done with a community website. The one I hang out on waaay too much is the Animal Crossing website.

Is it just me or does Gleemax totally sound like a gay porn cable channel?

What the hell were they thinking?

It's gleeful to the maxxx!

Little known fact: you can actually overdose on glee, and some people are naturally allergic.

When I saw it I thought it said Gleemonex, which I think was the name of the drug from Brain Candy.

I hadn't really given it any thought to it until you said that.  While it doesn't sound like a gay porn chanel name to me it is an aweful name and really make much sense.

At least MySpace gives you an idea of what it's about- giving you space on the internet to put up a profile, pictures, etc.  Gleemax tells me nothing about what the site is about.
