The truth is that I have a very, very limited exposure to both CRPGs and MMORPGs. The only computer game I really enjoyed was Darklands, many years ago. The fact is that I don't know how much DD4 is inspired by these games. On the other hand, it is very obvious that one could disassemble the PHB into sets of reference cards, specially the powers, feats, and racial profiles. Well, drop the 'reference', just keep the 'cards'...
It's not hard to imagine a DD4 card-based game combining features of board games (the battle mat and the minis), CCGs and roleplaying proper. I, for one, would love to see this happening. Just add a board game style regional map for moving the PCs group around and locating the encounters and voilą, there's a full toolkit for game management.
