IMHO, this may be the closest thing we've seen in the last decade to a possible online Pen-and-Paper style Dungeons-and-Dragons experience.

While it doesn't look like it will replace PWs (especially not our beloved Thay), it should offer a DnD experience perfect for online, weekly PnP-style campaigns with an adventure toolset, DM mode, etc, etc...

It does say "a first-of-its-kind real-time experience in which Dungeon Masters guide players through unique customizable adventures" which is wrong, because NWN's already done that... still I'm actually quite hopeful.

Thoughts?

Not something I'd look into since if I'm gaming and it's not Thay I'm probably playing single player stuff. Still interesting.

It looks very much like Baldur's Gate. I am willing to place bets that NwN has this beat in every category since it appears that you can do every single thing in NwN that you can do in this. So far, NwN is the closest thing I have found to simulate actual D&D. With the 14+ years of content added to NwN, its hard to compete with it. Let's not forget after a roughly $20 purchase, NwN is utterly free to play.

Is it this http://www.kloogeinc.com/ but more expensive and less customization?

[Purulent Carcass]

This is free and malleable.
