    So I had this weird thought.

    I've played a lot of MMORPGs over the years (EQ, EQ2, Star Wars Galaxies, City of Heroes, Champions Online, DC Universe online to name a few) and I've also played some tabletop rpgs (D&D, Star Wars). What if players wanted to do both?

    Players in a guild get together either in their guild base or a player's personal home base (whichever is the option for the game they're playing), sit around a table and chat on teamspeak or in game voice chat, and play out a campaign. A lot of mmorpgs have some form of dice rolling mechanic or players can just use their own dice at home and say what they roll, whatever works, and play. They can even dress up as the character they're playing (as closely as the game allows) and maybe even for some added flair roleplay as their mmo character playing the pen and paper game.

    Does this make sense? Am I rambling? If so then that is just the result of boredom and craziness. Haha.

    Thoughts?
