Dungeons & Dragons For The New Hi-Tec Generation...

The nearest I got to D&D as a kid was playing a Heroquest board game I once got for X-mas and reading a few game books loosely related to it when I was in secondary school. Oh and that cool arcade game that I play on MAME from time to time...

Anyway D&D is a huge phenomenon with fans of all ages and in every town I've ever visited in the UK I've always come across a Games Workshop filled with spotty, bespeckled, prepubescent, younglings whose eyes are glistening with geeky joy when they throw a six on their red and white dice... OK so that's a bit nasty... They don't all have spots...

Anyhoo D&D has progressed over the years and now with the startling advancement in technology our generation is experiencing a brand new breed of D&D gaming is nigh. 'Microsoft Surface' technology now allows players to game using virtual or physical figure based pieces and dice which interact with the surface adding that extra layer of immersion and interactivity.

Watch the video below which shows you a little of what is capable during a standard game.
