We really did loose something when we moved away from face to face role playing in favor of MMORPG's. I used to play role-playing games all the time in my younger years, and there is certainly something to be said for the face to face interaction and storytelling of an RPG. AD&D was a favorite, however we were very fond of the Aliens game and wrote several of our own systems. It just simply isn't the same playing on your computer....and being send off on a quest to kill 100 bears.....thats not imagination! Good post.
