Running a TTRPG by live chat and kind of loving it.

I'm running a ttrpg by text-only in Discord (Fabula Ultima, if you're wondering). Not play-by-post, but live chat. Gotta say, I kind of love this format. It doesn't require a whole lot of effort on my part-- no voice or video. It's slower, but everyone in it signed on for that. When I need to look up a rule, I have the time to do so without feeling like I'm making people wait. And I don't feel pressure between sessions to check in and keep up to date on a garrulous group of RPers.
It helps that I type quickly, for sure.
