Not that my local RPG group has any problems with it either but I know some do and it does remove the main (visual) disconnect to such play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005400514774336713.post-37876468472148096802009-11-25T14:50:59.714-08:002009-11-25T14:50:59.714-08:00Absolutely!

I haven't seen gender come up a lot as an actual issue at the table or behind the computer screen, BUT i see almost 100% more gender cross-play online as opposed to at a real table. My husband fully admits he wouldn't be comfortable playing a female character (except NPCs) with a face-to-face group, but he does it often through chat.<br /><br />That being said, i happen to have a google wave invite on its way, and i'm really excited to try it for gaming. We've been using OpenRPG for years, and it gets the job done, but it's ultimitely just a chat room with extra toys, and it doesn't save offline messages if you need to reboot--which, having a crappy internet connection, i have to do often!hippie_mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479358003758638738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005400514774336713.post-55427565804834688662009-11-25T00:20:31.914-08:002009-11-25T00:20:31.914-08:00I think this question may be a bit difficult to an...I think this question may be a bit difficult to answer, as when people play RPGs online they think MMO, playing actual RPGs online like DnD is very difficult and almost never done as far as I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
