Hi, this is Bill Sikkens host of User

friendly

00:00:02,083 --> 00:00:06,125

2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

00:00:06,166 --> 00:00:06,958

User friendly

4

00:00:06,958 --> 00:00:10,458

goes over a lot of new technology

and we're proud to bring that to you.

5

00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,958

But we want to visit another area

and that is with gaming.

6

00:00:12,958 --> 00:00:14,166

Now gaming is a big deal.

7

00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:18,416

We've talked about video games and all of

that very many times on the show before,

8

00:00:18,458 --> 00:00:21,208

but there's a lot of other

aspects of this, including role playing,

9

00:00:21,208 --> 00:00:23,458

tabletop gaming,

and all of these different type of things

10

00:00:23,458 --> 00:00:28,875

to where technology is advancing

and making better buy opinions of some.

11

00:00:29,125 --> 00:00:30,416

You can still sit at the table

12

00:00:30,416 --> 00:00:32,791

with a role playing game,

but you can have your tablet

13

00:00:32,791 --> 00:00:36,291

and do things like manage your character

sheets and stuff through an app.

14

00:00:36,291 --> 00:00:38,500

If that's what you choose to do.

It's still playable.

15

00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,250

If you want to use pen and paper,

which a lot do.

16

00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:44,833

There's even things like electronic dice

on Bluetooth, so when you roll your dice,

17

00:00:44,833 --> 00:00:46,875

it can pick up

what the roll is automatically

18

00:00:46,875 --> 00:00:48,625

and enter it into the digital system.

19

00:00:48,625 --> 00:00:52,708

This week on User Friendly, we're going

to talk about the origins of roleplaying

20

00:00:52,708 --> 00:00:56,208

Dungeons and Dragons and the others,

and where technology is taking it.

21

00:00:56,541 --> 00:00:59,916
