Any 'tabletop' game I have played, has been restricted to online. Even though I live with my DM, we have members in places that can't reach us, so we've always used messenger programs and online maps.
As I've said in other threads over the past few weeks, I'm preparing a solo game for my DM, to give him an opportunity to be a player for a change while our usual game is on hold, which means we don't have to sit in seperate rooms and type everything out. And frankly, I'm finding it a bit daunting. He tells me playing in a group is very different in person, but has never really given me any examples of how, all I can imagine is it'd be much faster paced without waiting on everyone to type responses, and not having a handy srd with a search bar right there in front of you at all times.
So not only is it my first time DMing, it will be my first time NOT staring at words on a monitor. What should I expect and prepare for to be different?
