Although Dungeons & Dragons is traditionally played in person at a table, the pandemic saw many groups transition to gaming via webcam using virtual tabletop programs, and many have found that web-based DnD has some unexpected advantages. The social element of tabletop RPGs has always been a distinguishing feature of the hobby, and some veteran DnD fans were skeptical of virtual RPG sessions. Beyond enabling people to enjoy tabletop RPGs while social distancing, virtual campaigns offer flexibility, particularly for adult DnD fans working around busy schedules, or those with friends in distant regions. Virtual DnD cannot replicate every aspect of in-person gaming, but its benefits outweigh any drawbacks.
