Surface + Dungeons and Dragons = Surfacescapes

I met with the folks from Carnegie Mellon who created the Dungeons and Dragons game
on Microsoft Surface called
Surfacescapes, which is a double helping of geek. I asked them about some of the challenges they faced, some of the decisions they made (like virtual dice), and where they hope to go with it in the future. If you're a D&D or Surface fan, don't miss it at Penny
Arcade on March 26th.
In this game, the DM sits off to the side with a laptop or touch slate while the application tracks combat states and statistics. Best of all you can still use your favorite miniatures on the table!

Interesting video, but can we please apply a compressor to it? Some of the voices are too quiet and some come through really loud.
Awesome job, really nice guys.
