    Has anyone ever done or considered doing a OSX version of IWD2?

    IWD2 is old enough that people are probably giving away used PCs capable of running it.

    It is possible someone will pick up converting it. Rome: Total War is being ported to the Mac as far as I know, and it has been around for a few years.

    However, since a mac version of it wasn't made available within the first few years of its sale for PCs that isn't a hopeful sign for D&D related games.

    If those were going to be ported to a make at all it generally seemed likely to happen shortly after the PC release. I have a Mac too so I feel your pain when a decent game isn't ported over.

    I rather wouldn't out of the fear that it would both complicate my life and leave me more vulnerable to viruses.

    Windows can be run on many makes these days but I (and a good number of other mac users) don't really want to use it.
