Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is a roleplaying game that features a whole lot of rules, dice rolling, and a fair amount of roleplaying. Sessions of D&D often have complex maps and miniatures that are used to model the whole world and make combat a bit clearer.
So, with that in mind, I prefer playing D&D in the tabletop format. While you can play online, I’ve found it much less enjoyable of an experience. Nothing really beats a classic game night with chips, salsa, and fireballs. Additionally, good programs to play D&D online tend to be expensive and also may require purchasing expensive copies of the books.

I’d prefer to play tabletop D&D. I’ve only played through your RP, and it’s really hard to get anything done fast due to timezones and people going inactive. I think it’s better to do it irl because it’s a faster process.

Theoretically, online D&D would have an organized time, but I definitely get your point. Typing things out also makes things take a lot longer

It would have an organized time, but if people are in different timezones, you might get only an hour a day to play. And sometimes I just get too lazy to type out a response or I can’t even think of what to write, so that takes up time too.

That’s definitely true, time zones and scheduling are a major pain. I recall staying up until like 4 am with you guys because every little thing took so long to type and that was when the active RPers were on

I prefer playing tabletop. Just because you can laugh at all of the failures with your fellow adventurers. I think online could be improved if there was a specific time that everyone was online (kind of like a session). Yes, timezones are an issue. But if you made everyone aware as they were signing up what time they’d have to be up at it could be a little more efficient.

After trying to use roll20, tabletop is infinitely superior 
I’ll maybe play the online version for a start since I’ve never played it on a whole before.
But I know tabletop version would be better than online because I don’t trust dice rolling online as compared to actually rolling the dice. 
@Gamers Do you like tabletop roleplaying games?

Never played it but I’ve seen passie’s roleplay on it
Well, I’ve played an formal game of D&D but I have played maybe D&D-type games before.

I understand that the D&D era is ending now, or am I wrong?
I imagine playing D&D online to be a bit easier? 
@Gamers What do you think? Which one do you prefer?
