[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3727573, member: 22779"] Just to continue this line of thinking for a moment. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that right now, I could go over to the OpenRPG boards, post an ad for a 3.5 game for 4-6 players any time of the day or night and have a group within a week, two tops. And the OpenRPG boards aren't exactly large. They're miniscule compared to the WOTC boards. WOTC has an amazing opportunity here. So many gamers would like to play but can't because of many reasons. You see it on the boards all the time - "I'd like to play, but there's no one here to play with." "I have two kids and a full time job, I can't play!" that sort of thing. With VTT, you can find a group that fits into your time schedule and play. My job has wonky hours and I live in Japan. I play from 9 am to 12 PM Tuesday mornings. Try getting a tabletop game during that time. WOTC has the community. They have the numbers to be able to have people running games 24/7. Games that are supported by Dungeon to boot. Imagine being able to download the latest Dungeon adventure to your PC, read it, load up the VTT and all the minis and maps and macros are already set for you. Ready to play in 20 minutes. That's where VTT's have so much of an advantage over tabletop. You're using the computer anyway, why not use it to its full capablities? Why handicap the VTT because tabletop doesn't have those advantages? [/QUOTE]
