[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 5433315, member: 66434"] As much as I really enjoy gaming, hanging out in person with friends is just better in every way and the thing is it doesn't even matter if we get much gaming done or not. Online tools are fantastic for times when a live group is just not possible. There are so many things that the virtual experience cannot provide: -enjoying snacks together - spontaneous jokes that turn into memories that last a lifetime. There is nothing quite as amusing as all the players looking at each other at the same time and bursting into the same song. :D - facial expressions and gestures that add the kind of meaning that might be lost if a description of them had to be presented. -throwing dice at the DM when he/she is being a tool. :p -showing off awesome paintjobs on new minis. - with regard to comedy, timing is everything. - last but not least (for me personally) I am a slow typer and the essence of my sharp wit would be completely lost in an online game.:) [/QUOTE]
