[QUOTE="the_sandman, post: 3312967, member: 29511"] Not neccessarily calling you arrogant, just stating that some of the responses here can be construed as arrogant. Please do not take the comment personally. {Or as a personal attack on you} As I stated, I believe it is great that you have found your style of play. I also think it is great that it works for you. On the other hand, I have read posts on this thread stating that online VT playing is somehow inferior to the "real thing". That is what I am calling arrogant. What it all boils down to is the "act" of roleplaying. I have experience in both formats. I have run a successful campaign online now for 2 years. It has branched into three different timelines, on three different worlds. I also get to play with people who live "more than an hour's drive from me." I challenge anyone here to play on a weekly basis face to face with people who are currently living in Denmark, the UK, the USA, Canada and Austrialia at the same time. Can't do it? Well, seems you are missing out. I enjoy roleplaying in the face to face variety. I also enjoy roleplaying online. Fact is, I enjoy roleplaying period, no matter what the form. Remember it was over 30 years ago when a hack named Gygax revolutionized the fomat of wargames to bring about the hobby that you all love. He innovated, and that innovation continues today. I am sure there are still some wargamers out there who think that Gygax brought them something inferior as well. Cheers, Sandeman [/QUOTE]
