Today, I feel like a geek, but it’s not the blogger hair or the pajama pants causing the sensation, it’s this really cool Dungeons and Dragons touch table app. The D & D game was deliciously modified by the gang at Carnegie Mellon’s SurfaceScapes team into one of Microsoft’s Surface touch tables.
Along with all of the nerdilicious joy of Dungeons and Dragons, the app lends some life to the game with some pretty cool graphics. The playable app will be showcased at Boston’s Penny Arcade Expo 2010.
