SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I think this is pretty much spot on:

Quote"In many ways paper and pencil role-playing creates a much deeper gaming experience than many video games," Ian argues. "The narrative is made up as the game is played out rather than along a predetermined arc written by the games designer. This unstructured format of role-playing on the big screen of the imagination can't be bettered in terms of unique user experience."

Your imagination has no FX budget. Go Ian.
I roll to disbelieve.

Yep, TRPG's are pretty cool.

I do like the video games too, though.

Absolutely. Different strengths though. It's why I don't particularly enjoy tactical tabletop rpgs, computer games just do that stuff better.

Oh yes.

I've said it elsewhere: this is a golden age of gaming.

Or if it isn't, that's only because the golden age is yet to come.

Videogames are convenient. TTRPGs give me a better social experience along with being infinitely more interactive.

Worth repating.
