Do you think that tabletop role-playing is in decline? Is the hey-day of games like D&D a thing of the past?
Are you saying that electronic gaming hasn't had any effect on it at all?I don't think table top role-playing is in decline. It's part of a niche market.
Precisely.The improv theatre and cooperative storytelling aspect of tabletop RPGs haven't come close to being approached by PC games as of yet.
Trying playing some tabletop D&D with a DM who's a professional screen-writer and some actors for fellow players and see if WoW can touch that.![]()
Yaba! I agree with that %100. I always said the best RPG sessions are the one's with a great DM. When I DM (though I'm not a great DM) I like to award players that have great role playing skills (not stratagy skills) with extra experience points because those types of players make the game extra fun for everyone.The improv theatre and cooperative storytelling aspect of tabletop RPGs haven't come close to being approached by PC games as of yet.

You guys don't play on Sundays do you? I am up in Elyria right now but Sundays are my only day off of work.Have to agree with Portal. The group dynamics and interactions is what makes it fun. I recently have started playing D&D again. Everyone in the group is in the over 35 crowd and we have as much fun laughing at ourselves than actually playing. Everyone in the group is a boardgamer and most are wargamers. Our dice rolls are so absurd that when we roll a 1 on a d20 we have have a stupid dunce hat to wear. (even the DM)
We have been playing on Sundays, but it will be changing to Saturdays. Our DM's wife (who plays also) got a job promotion and had to move to the Boston area. Their family is in the Cleveland area so they will come in once a month and need to play on Saturday because they have to drive back on Sunday. We are trying to set up a remote play. We meet at one of the player's house and he has webcam and voice. The DM and his wife will have the same. We are working on it. Let me know if you can possibly make it. I am available for ASL also. I live in Medina (south of you)You guys don't play on Sundays do you? I am up in Elyria right now but Sundays are my only day off of work.
