I still think we should attempt to do DnD online.
I couldn't be the DM, though. I'm terrible at it.
I
have tried that. It's possible that the problem was the people I was doing it with and not the activity itself, but if you're going to do things online
anyhow, I think, at least for me, it's more worthwhile to pick a random MMO and play within that.
If you're playing with friends it almost doesn't matter
what you're playing, just that you're getting immersed in lore and RP with friends.
I
almost did this with LotR Online. But I decided I didn't need to move on from the marijuana that is FFXI to full-blown heroin. And that's what a Tolkien MMO would be to me.
