[QUOTE="tinktinktinktink, post: 3687309, member: 54310"] I'm running a couple of games right now, one online and one offline (face to face). It's basically the same game with a few tweaks, and two different groups. The online game I play over OpenRPG, although we're looking at Ventrilo for voice and I'm going to look at some of the other options mentioned by people in this thread. The one thing I find is that my online group moves at approximately half the speed of my face-to-face group. I do my best with macros, boxed text and prepared materials, but the fact of the matter is, typing is always going to be slower than speaking. My online group moves through the same material at about half the speed of my face-to-face group. Connection speeds, and dealing with players who are slow typers, and other unpredictable problems like a server going down and having to meet up in a different place are all realities you have to deal with. Combat. Ugh. I try to keep it simple. Combat can be absolutely painful online. [/QUOTE]
