The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames?

Posted by simoniker on from the cheeto-replenishment-is-near dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a new article on kuro5hin.org about the trouble with porting pencil and paper RPG games (such as d20 3.5) to RPG video games. One such rules-snatching video game is examined, The Temple of Elemental Evil. The article is also an introduction to a new RPG Standards Compliance system that is currently under development and will be online soon, in hopes of bridging the gap between computers and those lovable PnP evenings we all enjoy."

  1. why did /. link this? by CavemanKiwi · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Kuro5hin is a site very similar to ./ ,in the fact that a lot of the content is the discussion of an article. So a ./ discussion on a K5 article seem a bit like re-inventing the wheel.
