Does anybody here play D&D?

Was it fun? I've heard of those before, but never got into them. I think I tried a PBM (or email rather) version and found it entirely boring. I believe the live chat ones feature die rollers and everything, correct? I wouldn't mind giving it a whirl, although nothing can replace ye old pen-and-paper, IMO.

Another medium I've found handy is the game Neverwinter Nights, which can be picked up fairly on the cheap nowadays. I've used it with some friends scattered across the country, running Teamspeak as well, to hold pnp style gaming sessions using the NWN engine. We built the module, devoid of enemy spawns and the like, and a DM handles the story and spawning any encounters. It's an interesting mix of hack'n'slash gaming and DnD roleplaying.
