    Have to add to this now! I tried two Star Trek SIM/RPs that used Nova and while I see the appeal, I really struggled with the single shared document, especially since they didn't activate permissions that let you see others posts-in-progress. I really like that with forum RP you get to watch in real-time as other threads played out.

    I am a fan of Freeform writing (which i guess is play by post?) Terms are always a bit wonkey depending on where you started RPGs.

    I do love me a good RPG video game.
    Tabletop can be fun depending on the GM - but I had bad luck with that (my brothercaughcaugh)

    I have done everything but formal/structured LARP. I just love RP =D My favorites would have to be tabletop and forum/pbp. I have RPd on MMOs and I don't find the medium quite as immersive (not sure that's right) as other medium.

    I’ve done pbp for about as long as I can remember that’s always been my number one medium, followed by Computer and Video game rpg. I think it was the original final fantasy series for Nintendo that got me hooked into pbp

    I've been RPing on play-by-post forums for around 14 years now, it actually helped improve my writing skills a lot when I was in school. I'm talking a kid that usually got 60-70's for writing suddenly boosting up to 90-100's in just a year of writing. It was really great for me.

    I've also always been a gamer, ever since I got my first Super Nintendo at the age of 4. My favourite RPing games are Bioware games.

    Never partook in anything else on that list. I've been on-and-off curious about DnD but, even though my social network is very nerd-y (game designers) I don't actually have a group of friends that really play DnD. It's weird haha.

    I feel like some kind of weird glutton, ticking every box - but, I've been doing this for a very long time...

    PBP, Tabletop, Computer/Console, & Board Games. Most of what I do is forum based these days, but that does not mean I don't still love the rest of them.

    I'm all about the forum, but I'm really liking the discord thing these days.

    I started with console RPGs but I guess never really thought of what it meant that they were "roleplaying" until I started text roleplaying later. Jeff Vogel's Exile computer RPGs (later Avernum) had a big developmental impact on me, though, and I think set me up to jump into text roleplaying, based on his deep written descriptions and gritty and weird NPCs.
     
  11. PbP mostly, forums at that - though I've dabbled a bit in chat/discord and pen and paper. PbP is far more engaging, at least to me.
