Hey been here almost long enough to remember the sheer backlog of D&D games here as well as just normal roleplay threads in original fantasy settings yet recently I've noticed a worrying lack of the setting and wanted to give people a question to ask themselves: "What do you think the pros and cons of running a tabletop game? What do you think the pros and cons of GMing a normal roleplay are?"

Feedback would be welcome, and maybe discuss why it might be that there are so few new fantasy setting rp threads here on RPG.

The main issue with PbP tabletop is that it gets bogged down quite quickly depending on the group. Unlike regular freeform RPs, tabletop RPs rely on dice, and even something as simple as combat can crawl to a halt because you're waiting for someone next in the turn order.

Also: Fantasy is one of the more popular genres on the guild, so it isn't so much a lack of fantasy RPs. The guild has been in a bit of a lull for awhile by now.
