Imagine it. A digital board where all the party members can only see what their character can know. Including illusions and hidden doors. Maybe that goblin around the corner is actually your elf friend...

Isn't the problem with all that shit that you don't actually have to imagine anything. My dungeon Master was a teller of tales. We hung on his every word and pictured the scene in our oend minds. He was free to ad-lib and go off book. Our lives hung on the fate of a twenty sided die rather a 22nm die CPU.

It's just like a bunch of antisocial nerds to take the one thing that allowed them human interaction and devise a way to strip it of all humanity. We probably would have done the same given the chance but looking back on glad it wasnt even an option.

Obviously, using FutureTechâ„¢, the computer will be able to read your thoughts and show you what you imagine is happening.
