[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6808917, member: 63245"] Huh doesn't seem to garner interest, eh. I know most people play computer RPGs if they are solo but there isn't really any different between playing a D&D game by yourself and playing one on the computer... other than the clearly obvious ease of gameplay letting the computer work the system.
