[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 8852705, member: 30438"] Same. As someone that works in IT, I try to uncouple my D&D as much as I can from using a computer (while using a computer to play it, mind you). Using a fancier platform than Discord isn't something I would likely enjoy, and would absolutely add an extra burden to running the game. It's funny, when I think about my two gaming groups, including myself there's three people that DM in both of them. But then when I remember when I was playing at an open table some years back, the DM at one point said that the table was getting too big for him to manage and it was crickets when he asked if someone could splinter off and run a game until I volunteered. Then, both tables continued to grow and then later on when I floated that I was looking for someone else to DM a third table to take pressure off of me, not one person volunteered. [/QUOTE]
