Lately, some of you may have noticed my decreased presence on these boards because I was busy actually playing D&D on dndonlinegames.com. I was just wondering if anyone else on these boards plays there or at any other online D&D site, and if so, what their screen name is.
One DnDOG, I'm: waterdeepflapjack
I hav'nt checked that out yet, is it cool? In your opinion, is it close to the paper and dice version? Come to think of it I'll check it out now...
Wow.
No, I mean it, wow.
Yeah, time to get crackin' on that DSL connection. When this hits the shelves in the spring I am opening the wallet.
Still would like to get your opinion Waterdavian, will check back here in a few days, c-ya.
Um, I think in your second post you're talking about the actual video game, but regarding the dndonlinegames.com site, although it is very much like tabletop dnd (except for the typing and the lack of off-topic conversations going on in the game), it is also very much slower paced. Instead of going on the computer for a couple hours at a time for your session, I just check once in the morning and once in the evening for new posts.
To get in games, you can either post something about yourself in the "Players seeking DMs" forum, or browse the "DMs seeking Players" forum, and apply for any game that suits you.
Unlike in traditional dnd, it is much easier to get involved in multiple games (I'm in 5 right now), but from what I've heard it's alot of work to DM.
Anyway, if you liked what you saw, sign up for an account and PM (private message) me (waterdeepflapjack), and I'll try to get you into a Guild War style game I'm in right now (if you're interested, of course).

However, you might not be able to view everything (alot of things are private threads, but just tell me if you want to be able to see some of the game so far and I'll PM it to you.
Good Gaming,

I'm very active on Ghost Orb, where I've been playing more than once a week usually. Liking it a lot, needless to say.

Sorry about that, yes I was thinking of the MMO that will be coming out this spring. No, I have never tried the online D&D.
I suspect however that things like the game coming out will be the future of the game we love...
