[QUOTE="rvalle, post: 3312006, member: 28272"] When I first started running WLD though Fantasy Grounds a year and a half ago, I did it because I had no other options. Our group had been gameless for years. Even when we had a regular game of once every two weeks I was only able to make about 1 game in 4 (3 kids, a long commute home from the game place, ect). In chosing to game via a VT I did lose one one of our regular players. But, we gained two more.
