DICE+ Announces First PC Gaming Integration
 
Video games have drawn inspiration from the realm of pen-and-paper roleplaying games for decades, but one crucial element has been missing; the die. With the integration of DICE+, DeathFire: Ruins of Nethermore becomes the first (and only, for now) PC game to bridge the gap between modern technology and tabletop traditions.”DICE+ was created to make people play together with their friends and family members on iOS and Android tablets,” said David Gatti of Game Technologies. “This will be our first venture into a category of hardcore games, but the developers of DeathFire: Ruins of Nethermore truly love DICE+.
