If I miss a roll in one of those games, no biggie, no matter how important that one action would've been. Thats not true of all people, since I remember my big brother pounding his fist on the screen of our amiga 14 years ago .. while playing pinball <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />. But I usually remain calm when playing computer games. Not so in our DnD group. You can almost feel the tension when it's that deciding roll between TPK and victory over the BBEG. You just don't get those groans of desperation in CRPG when the dice rolls (and falls of the table a couple of times <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) and turns up 1. CRPGs don't come even close to PnP games even in hack'n'slash, neither in visuals nor excitement. Maybe in ease of play because unlike a human DM the computer doesn't need snacks, refreshment and breaks <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
