I was looking at random stuff on the steam store and stumbled across something called "Tabletop Simulator". Someone built a physics engine and made it really easy to create additional mods for it, then dropped it to the steam store here:

$15 for single, $45 for a 4-pack.
Primary idea was so that people could build their own board games or similar into it; then publish to the workshop here:

I really liked the idea, so started browsing the workshop. Lots of classic boardgames with various nice skins (battleship, risk, WoW themed monopoly, etc.).
And then I came across Heroquest:

I still have my original boardgame of this...played the fuck out of it many years back and hanging onto it to play with my son some day. It's a great into-to-D&D setup, and the modeling looks great.
Anyway, I'm actually kinda interested in this concept...
