And they will be, given the APIs available and the overall openness of the system.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You seem to be assuming that there is overlap between the programming and role-playing game communities.

Considering that many current RPG sites have developer communities creating all kinds of web tools, program extensions, and even iPhone apps, that's not an assumption. It's a reality.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
(I think Gud was joking.)

Holy sh*t, I knew I should have gone to that Super Bowl party!
Or rather, my former housemate is friends with those guys, one has a place a few blocks away from me, if you want me to ask for details.

YES! Details!
ION, I managed to leave work early enough to find and make it before they close, to the comic book/game shop! Woot! So, I am now the proud owner of the BSG board game!!
And, since I no longer live in the same neck of the woods as Drew & Kristin, I picked up my own copy of Settlers of Cataan! They had a very tempting set of Cataan, a hand crafted 3-d multi-pack in a nice wooden case. I was very tempted, until I saw the price ($400), then I gently put down the pretty box and backed away from the shelf.
I spent a bit more than if I had purchased at Amazon, but I'm supporting a local shop, plus, I haz it NOW!

I have asked, but, like everyone else, my former housemate is buying a house, so he's a bit distracted at the moment.
Mostly, I'm now thinking this guy is probably in town and I really want to meet him and see his fabulous place (with in-home movie theatre)!

Former housemate has this--it was a gift, or he won it, or something. It is very nice.

move out and draw fire
See, when I check my news feeds first before coming here, I end up forwarding stuff around to people who will also probably see it here.
So, sorry about doubling-up on the Wave thing, although I didn't squee largely about the gaming aspect in email.
Who wants to work on a dice-rolling app with me?
