Because D&D is a pen and paper game, using things like dice and maps with tokens, and all that jazz, it seems that it would lend itself PERFECTLY to an online format. It appears that all of the things necessary for an online D&D game are incredbily easy to set up.
I KNOW that it doesn't fit with the entire reason for the game, because it's meant to be pen and paper, with all the immersion and whatnot, but it seems like an online D&D game would help for someone new to it, to get the hang of how things work.
Does such an online system exist?
EDIT: I found one:
www.dndonlinegames.com - Any better ones?
EDIT 2: Oh, and as a side request, dealing with DnD, does anyone have a link to that French Canadian video showing those 4 DnD players, where one of them starts messing around and ends up raping one of his friends whilst they're sleeping? It was hilarious, but I can't find it anywhere.

Off hand, it's got a steep learning curve for the GM and is generally more pretty than functional.
I laughed.... hard

Check out my band, click the banner.
A Virtual Table program is the closest you can get.
Fantasy Grounds is the best one I have had the pleasure to play.
Its a great program.
Did you run or play on it?
I meant like a widely used commercial game.
Heres the email I wrote:
Heres the response:
I think they misunderstood what I was asking... I wanted to essentially just make a tool to help build the characters, then it'd essentially just be a chatroom with dice...
Both, I have run games as a DM and played it as a player.
But yeah, this topic should be moved to Of Dice and Men
