I loved D&D, and played a LOT in college. Today, the Inertnet game Everquest is
close, and if I had a lot of spare time (parent of 2 beautiful daughters, alas...labor intensive!;) I would playh that...but it can
never be as good as a good DM running a game. A good DungeonMaster running an interactive game with good friends knows when to overlook the dice rolls, when to shade the results...like the difference between a good book with your own imagination and a movie pouring into your eyes.
"You don't debate Evil," my Human/Elf MU/Fighter used to say, "you kill it." Ah, those were the days!
