Sure it is, because eating, shopping, travelling, and enjoying themselves aren't good stories or all that exciting.Crothian said:Beyond combat the characters live. Its like asking a person what do they do beyond eating, its seems like a silly question to me. THe characters travel, they shop, they rest, they enjoy themselves, they do what they want to. Combat is not what the game is about.
That's just my 2 cents, but you'll find these activities summarized in one or two sentances in my game unless they are important to the current storyline. I find role playing a guy on the street who was put into the game only to give the PCs the information "I saw a dark, cloaked figure pass by this way last night" boring. So, I'll say, "you find a guy who says he saw a dark, cloaked figure pass by this way last night, he doesn't really know anything else and he didn't see any more detail."
