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.

Are you more of a Pen & Paper RPG fan, or an Online RPG fan?

I love rolling dice, so I prefer in person. Sadly with gas prices, I will have to switch to online very soon.

Greetings!

Yes, definitely in-person, face to face gaming!

Playing on line does not prevent one from rolling dice. Where is this coming from?

I've migrated from face-to-face play, to online play, to solo play.  So, I have also drifted from purely analog to a mostly digital style.  I still like my dice and cards, but most of my books and game play journals are now digital.

As a player, I prefer a person CRPG. As a DM, I prefer table top pen and paper, but have done online via Skype voice and video.

For me. Both.

I much prefer face-to-dace gaming. But my local group drifted apart due to life and medical reasons.

I've been online RPing since discovered it back in the 90s. And long before that was doing it via mail with friends cross country or continent.

What alot of you morons seem to conveniently forget is that long before the internet. People were playing TTRPGs via good ol snail-mail.

I did play one PBM game by scooter.  I would write up my orders and deliver them by hand, it was faster than the postal service.   ;D

As a kid, I used to play face to face.

Now, I've come back to the hobby in the last two years, I only play online through Discord (or Google Meet or Youtube/Streamyard). Exception is at conventions.

We turn the camera on and everybody rolls his physical dices.

Face to face/analog experience preference here. I have had my fair share of Roll20 and to be honest, I cannot keep up with
the game for my mind wanders and leads inevitably to internet surfing while "gaming". It seems to be
that many people are able to do it, however I rather pass the offer and not game than play over Roll20 or similar again,
it is not fair for the other players and the GM for me to be there but still not quite present ::)
Hârn is not for you.

I live wayyyyy back in the middle of nowhere, in a part of the country with a population density of like 2.5/sqmi.  It's been online-only for me for some time.

In a way it is annoying.  But on the other hand, there is a wider choice of players since you're not limited geographically.  I've gotten used to it, and there are some things that I prefer.  Map sharing with fog-of-war is awfully convenient.

Welcome to the club circa 1995. Lil postage stamp town in the literal middle of nowhere. I happened to come across MUDs and later MUCKs at a convention and opened up the possibilities of online RPGing.

I love/prefer face to face but my current game group now lives in three different time zones.  We've made online gaming work (not with Roll20, but with overhead cameras and the like) and it's been fun but I yearn to get back to everyone being in the same room!

Pen and Paper for sure, although my face to face games are limited to when my son is home from college.  I also play in a virtual group.  I never really got into online gaming like LOTR or World of Warcraft.

I prefer face-to-face. But for years I couldn't find a group because I lived out in the stix. So online was great. But we essentially tried to play it as a face-to-face game. We all rolled our own dice and we didn't bother with any of that VTT krud.

So it was good and far better than not playing.
