I mean, I play periodically with the Axe&Sickle discord group and we use a Fantasy Grounds license to do 3.5e online. I've also got a Pathfinder game that I play bi-weekly with friends in a different time-zone, which absolutely wouldn't be possible absent some kind of online interface. I've had a ton of fun setting up a Foundry server to accommodate the game, complete with mood music and sound effects and little animations for dramatic events. I also built a Kingmaker atlas-map for another game I'm a regular in, complete with ambient weather to represent the changing seasons.
And that's just modern day shit. D&D has been on the computer since at least the 80s, in various forms and in some of its most entertaining incarnations. Whomst among us hasn't shouted out "Sticks to Snakes!" while lobbing a bunch of twigs in the air, after playing the old Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara side-scroller?
