D&D insider looks to be a useful tool, or as they like to refer to it “DvD Extras”. I think the idea behind the map tool is that it will remind you of light sources, fog of war, and remove the cartography aspect of the game to a point.

They have taken some of the better software ideas and added them to a D&D mechanic(Who here hasn’t seen or heard of Hero Machine, Open Rpg or Fantasy Grounds).

For people who don’t have a group or for logistical reasons D&D insider will probably beat the pants off Play by Forum or Irc games.

The character renderer looks ot be based off of the DDO one with a few modifications. Speaking from my personal experience its not that hard. Who doesnt spend a lot of time picking out the right avatar for themselves or a forum? I’m also sure that some basic ones will be included ( and perhaps modifiable so you can change orc weapons etc )

But we wont know more about 4th edition until we see it.

Just remember “I grapple the troll!”

Off topic:

@joel and GM T: I really don’t see what the problem is with that. What’s in a name? I’ll just use my full name. I don’t really care about being top commentator on this blog (not that I don’t like GM T Online, mind you) or any other blog.
