Luke, my husband and I play RPGs with a group of friends over Skype. We're
scattered across the United States, but it seems to work for us. We met in
person when we could, but things changed for some of us, and we invited others
from different states who were friends of friends. Anyhow, things
Zack, I have two specific problems with online rp.

is alive and well online in many styles and genres. there are more games now

Hey Charles,

Does anyone know where a potential blind chess player can get a chess set of
the Staunton design at a reasonable price? Also, a mechanical or digital chess

Hello,
About digital games, thank to mobile devices and web technologies in
