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.
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.

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

Worth repating.
