I'ld still make all the rolls for saves, skill checks, etc, but it would make combat easier.  BUT then you get into the problem that it means the PCs have to be around their dice + characters to do it... Unless they know where to find a good online dice roller.Wouldn't it be cool if ENworld had a dice roller built on here somewhere with a link to it?And, don't forget if all else fails - You're the DM, make something up.*L* actually that's how a lot of my the games I'm in IRL have been starting lately.. not many of them last too long either (But that's b/c recently my gaming group's been going through several changes, people coming + going)But I agree, and with Online I usually try to have a good (From my PoV) hook for the characters, and I've found it's probably best to figure out how the PCs know each other (Or whether they DON'T know each other) before the game starts.</blockquote>
