[QUOTE="hazel monday, post: 5433306, member: 56061"] Online gaming just seems completely unappealing to me. If I didn't have real groups to game with, I'd just stop gaming. To me,the only way to play is at a table, surrounded by my fellow humans. I'd rather eat glass than "game" online. It seems like the opposite of fun. Computers kill the mood. And if you can't hear the verbal inflections on what your fellow players are saying, and look them in the eye while you respond, you're missing all the good stuff. I don't consider online RPGs to even be RPGs. If I'm having a conversation with people about RPGs (which happens a lot since I work at a game store) & they reveal that they play online only, then I kind of tune what they're saying out. I just smile and nod until I get a chance to politely disengage from the conversation. It's not that i want to be rude or anything, I just don't consider what they do to actually be gaming. [/QUOTE]
