Day #18: What Innovation Could RPG Groups Benefit Most From?
Outside of a few ridiculous ideas, the main innovation that could help most groups is the use of online tools.
Despite the increase in technology, there are still thousands of old-school 1st Edition players whose closest link to the online world is the email chain to confirm whose bringing the snacks Saturday night.
Sure, plenty of groups now have an official website for reference and communication, but I think those might be more to please the GM than anyone else.
The idea of using online play to supplement in-person gaming seems incredibly convenient. Whether it's a little solo role-playing or an administrative session to clear up bookkeeping when almost everyone is available, I would love to see the Skypes, roll20s, and Google Hangouts used more with face-to-face groups.
