[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 9611997, member: 5948"] Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both. I'm DMing on in-person campaign, and playing in on VTT campaign. The VTT campaign is the group I started playing with 20+ years ago. Now we live conservatively an hour and a half drive apart, and the DM has deteriorating vision which makes tabletop play difficult. Plus, as you get higher level the automatic dice rolling functions of a VTT save more and more time (as you start rolling 8+ dice at a time and have to add up the result), and VTTs handle very large maps and long-range encounters much better than is easily possible on tabletop. (I use a hybrid approach with the game i DM, I use an online combat tracking tool, and I have an old TV mounted screen-up that i can display maps on) But the VTT game is with people I've known and played with for many years. I've found it hard to get into a real vibe with a brand new group, of people I don't know, in a purely online game. And it kinds sucks the whole game being completely at the mercy of whoever's computer hardware and internet connection is the least reliable. [/QUOTE]
