Some friends and I have started playing Neverwinter Nights online. We have played a lot of paper and dice RPGs over the years. It is definitely a different experience. It will take us several more sessions to get everything worked out. First there are the technical hurdles involved in getting everybody's game installed correctly, the versions all up-to-date, everybody's network connections working. Then everybody has to learn how to play the game, control their characters, play a character that will contribute to a party (somebody's has to start with a puny wizard that is easily clobbered). The part we are working on now is working together as a team. Simple things like staying together and communicating are tough, but we'll get there. Somebody told me I should check out a roger wilco server. I think it will let us communicate via voice during the game.
