Endless Replay Value

One of the greatest things about a tabletop adventure is that it's impossible to play the same game twice. Even if you had the same players and you used the same characters, even trying to replay an adventure would yield completely different results. The randomness that comes from the dice guarantee this.

Like I said, though, this is one of the greatest things. It's always new. It's always different. Now, most people I know aren't playing the same adventures multiple times because they also want new settings. But if you do return to an old story, it's going to be a new adventure.

Think about reading a book. Sometimes you wonder what would have resulted if things happened differently or if characters made different choices, or even if entirely different people were in the same situation. In a role playing game, you can do exactly that.
