I would tend not to agree with the above statement. I think you can RPG with nothing but a buddy sitting somewhere in the world connected to you by any of the myriad communication devices available. But learning to roleplay is a bit more complicated than just chatting or whatever. There are a lot of shared expectations and experience that help drive the roleplaying. If I go with Tolkein elves, and you go with hackmaster elves, it is gonna be pretty hard to roleplay, don't you think?But to say again, I am talking about new D&D players new to RPGs. Whether from video game backgrounds or not.</blockquote>
