A bunch of people in various gaming circles on Google+ use hangouts and/or videochat to game. I don't think there's too much use mapping tools or the like, though I could be mistaken.

Arcanum did a pretty good job of this with notes on the corpses of relevent NPCs and the like. While I tend not to engage in wholesale NPC slaughter outside of the occasional irritation-inspired murder bout, I can certainly appreciate that for many people, that particular freedom is emblematic of what they want to see in an RPG.

The older editions are still played, all the way back to the three original Dungeons and Dragons booklets which Gygax originally self-published. There's actually been an upswing in the available of rules for editions from 1e AD&D back due to the 'Old School Rennissence' and retroclone movement on sites like Dragonsfoot and The Piazza. This isn't to say that you can find a game of Basic Dungeons and Dragons, 1e D&D, or 2e D&D in any given gaming store or college campus, but they're out there. That being said, I think that most of the criticisms of 4e in this thread are pretty far afield of how it's actually played outside of D&D Encounters events. It does have a serious case of hit point inflation making the PCs and monsters too durable alike, and I'm finding the combats just take too long at this point. I prefer to run a variant of BD&D if I have my druthers. (I run an ongoing game of 4e weekly, and BD&D about twice a month.) On non-D&D older stuff: There's a lot of stuff being reprinted these days, so it's hard to say what really qualifies as old, but I'd love a chance to run more Talislanta. I'm a big fan of the simple system the 4th and 5th editions use, and I love the weird, wild setting. Adventure! by White Wolf is still one of my favorite pulp games, but the genre can be hard to find players for. Mekton Zeta, despite all its flaws, is one of my favorite games. I'm a mecha nerd at heart, and it's a lot more open than something like Battletech.
