[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4143507, member: 22779"] Actually, I think it will for a few reasons. VTT play means that you are no longer limited to the players in your area. If you want to start a campaign, pick a time, then advertise that you are running a game (weekly/monthly/whatever) in that time slot. If there is a large enough pool of players, you will find people who fit into your time slot. And, looking at the RPGA, I can see that driving DDI VTT play (how's that for acronyms?). Last time I looked, they said they had 150 000 RPGA members. Say you can draw 1% of those into regular VTT play. That's 1500 players. Assume, for the moment, that a group is 5 players (1 DM +4 players) and that's 300 groups. That's a group starting every 1/2 hour every day. That means finding a group will be very, very easy. I know from my experience with OpenRPG, which has a MUCH smaller audience to draw from than WOTC or the RPGA, that I can advertise a new D&D game running any time of the day, and within a week I'll have six regular players. ((Now, if two or three of those six weren't mouth breathing, knuckle dragging social troglodytes who bugger off into the night without a moment's notice, that would make me even happier. :/)) [/QUOTE]
