I think I need to get back to console gaming, frankly. Broken record says: Morrowind! Non-generic-fantasy weirdness where you ride around on giant fleas in a volcanic wasteland dotted with ziggurats and mushroom-based mansions, a (hopefully) resentful tool of imperialism and living gods!

Thanks, but nope. People suggest this frequently,

Erp. Sorry.

but having had the visual interface, I could never again do text-based rp. It would fall flat.

Heh... I may know what you mean, but in mirror-image. I think I've come full circle; back to where I actively dislike 99% of graphically-based fiction/gaming setups for their visual interface. At this point, that's precisely the element that would inspire me to make out-of-character comments all the time, I suspect.

How about old-fashioned RPGs? There must be quite a number of pencil-and-paper, face-to-face players of all different flavors in Providence.
