Message: <blockquote data-quote="DDK" data-source="post: 664952" data-attributes="member: 6469">I've just recently started a PBP on these boards and am finding that I actually enjoy running it. Although it's only JUST started, the setup was kinda fun and I've got six decent players with six decent characters and have started with one decent story.Something I don't think I've ever managed with a tabletop group.There's something about the medium that I'm finding rather enticing. It seems more story-based and I have a greater degree of control over the running of the game whilst at the same time, I feel the players are also more empowered. Plus you can do neat things like use images on websites for battles, npcs, or even landscape or cities.I honestly can't wait to see how it all pans out. The only thing I'm not liking is the potential slowness of the game but then again, I start school this week so I won't have as much time anyway. Having established a set routine in the PBP, ie. a minimum of one post every 'turn' or 24-hour period, I can simply come back to the thread once a day, at the end of the 24-hour period, and respond to all the posts. There are other benefits like breaking up the text into different types (thought, speech, action, OOC) which help me with things like awarding RP XP as well. And I have TIME to do everything properly, to consider various plots and threads and devices.So I'm curious, do any of you prefer PBP over tabletop? If so or if not, why?</blockquote>
