How Technology is Changing RPGs
SEM1120445 – Saturday, Aug 6 2:00pm (click to grab a seat)
The future has arrived, but rather than being jetpacks and food paste, we’ve got the Internet and PDF publishing. But what does it all mean for RPGs? What role will virtual tabletops play? What about Twitter and Facebook? Wikis? Tablet PCs? Come discuss the future of our favorite hobby with many of the people blazing the trail.
