4chan is like Tetris with words. That counts as an MMO, right?

@Officer Hotpants  
Yeah, I’m mostly in the same boat. My good IRL friends are sorta at the baseline for what I’d consider a friend
 
 
@Barhandar  
How so?

@Sapphie  
Horror stories are great tho, like the Sue Files  
and yes.

@Sapphie  
Doubtful. I mean I’ve rarely liked anyone in real life even half as much as I like my online friends.

@Barhandar  
But I already have more friends than I can keep up with ;-;  
But also like hotpants said, possible horror stories
 
And I dunno, does camaraderie require physical presence in the same room?
 
@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
God I need to eventually replay bl2

About Borderlands 2…
 
It has shotguns.
 
And a female unicorn who shits guns.
 
 
That is all.

@Barhandar  
And/or horror stories.

@Sapphie  
that’s because you don’t understand camaraderie (and ability to physically trottle someone who’s being excessively cheeky ingame)  

Also known as: future friends!

@Azure Fang  
Frankly, I don’t see the benefit of playing offline, only the downsides (having to either invite people over, or make your way over to someone else’s, not having digital maps, etc)  
Plus there’s the fact that I’d much rather play with my friends (which requires online, since I have at most 3 IRL friends) than with randos that I’d meet only for dnd.

@Anonymous #3456  
Sweet. And you can’t own a style. So long as you don’t copy the characters or settings outright, or use leaked or extracted assets, there’s little they can do.

@Sapphie  
There are communities for finding local players, but I’ve never had any luck finding anybody in my area that’s interested in playing D&D 3/3.5e (own literally every official core and Forgotten Realms source book for the edition, so really not interested in upgrading to 5th) or Shadowrun 4th Ed. As to online options, I know they are viable but I would really rather find an in-person group to accommodate one of the aforementioned diehards. Plus, I do generally agree that playing online really loses a lot of the charm, being one that grew up playing in-person sessions.

@Officer Hotpants  
More than one. You can even buy merch and miniatures now.
 

 
There have been a number of video games featuring recognizable pony content , too. I wonder how long they can fly under the radar before Hasbro’s lawyers start sending the cease-and-desist letters.

@Barhandar  
Oh yeah. I’d heard there was a MLP D&D adaptation.

@Barhandar  
I’d join that server but I’m already in 2 campaigns so I don’t think I’ll be joining any new ones.
 
@Azure Fang  
I’ve mostly ever played dnd online; roll20 is a nice resource, and there’s no way a NEET-but-in-education like me would find anyone IRL to play.

@Azure Fang  
@Officer Hotpants  
@FeatherTrap  
@Sapphie  
Obligatory online pony tabletop shilling.

@Sapphie  
I miss running D&D and Shadowrun sessions, but haven’t been able to find any new players in the area and the couple diehards I do have (not enough for a table in their own right) patently refuse to play over online platforms.

@FeatherTrap  
That would be interesting. I love worldbuilding.
 
I’ve always wanted to get into actual D&D but have had to make do with PC games and reading wikis.
 
@FeatherTrap  
Wow. It’s 1:40 PM here. Opposite sides of the planet, then.

@Sapphie  
I always want to play it, but some times the desire burns brighter then others. When I say it out loud, it is particularly strong, if that makes any sense.  
_{Also it’s 3 in the morning for me and I’m supposed to be asleep >.<}

@FeatherTrap  
Are you implying you don’t always wanna play DnD? :P
 
^{even with one session a week I’m always hyped for the next one lmao}

@Officer Hotpants  
It is. Maybe I should start a thread to talk about my crazy worldbuilding ideas, like my take on Wood Elves being a race of Imperialist Conquerors who want to aggressively terraform the world back to the state of the Ur-Wood, forcing all non-elves to either regress to beastmen or die…
 
Dammit, now I want to play DnD/Pathfinder again.
 

 
@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Don’t play Borderlands, cannot give satisfactory answer, sorry. :/

@TeamBlueplant  
Oh. That. I always just called that “purple” in my head. Thanks.

@Officer Hotpants  
borderlands 2, slag is a type of elemental damage that makes the target recieve more damage, and salvador is a character that can dual wield, so, yea

@FeatherTrap  
Sounds sweet. I’ve liked the little guys ever since Undrentide. They’re like this race that’s right on the cusp of ascending to a proper civilization. The first reptilians to do so on Faerun since the fall of the ancient Lizardfolk empire tens of thousands of years prior.
 
 
@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
I don’t know what that means.

Salvador with a slag SMG and an electrified shotgun.
 
What you gonna do?
