I think it does. I don't know too much about D&D or any roleplaying either,
but this is definitely more continuous stories about your creations and such,
maybe just a touch of roleplaying by the fact that over the web, people can

happened in reality (because one of the guys lives in Japan and the other in
GB, for example).
