Which do your players prefer?

[Draxus the Tainted]

Do your players prefer hack-n-slash, role playing, or a mix of both?

 

[NiTessine]

Some prefer roleplaying, some prefer hack 'n' slash, one is in favor of balanced, and one likes to sit back and let everyone else make the decisions.

We are a group of 8 young ones, At the moment we have 4 hack and slash,2 that enjoy both,1 who doesn't do much either way, and 1 who is really into the min max of things.

My players are totall hack & slash min-max munchkins.
"But the chart in the DMG says that I could get an Earing of Dexterity +1!"
"Well I said you can't!"
"YOU SUCK!"

 

[Rowenstin]

We find pure hack&slash boring; usually we try to find a reason to kill the bad boy.

Mix 'em up

My players like to get in some roleplaying and some non-combat gaming (like investigation, item creation, social interaction, etc) but still have a chance every now and then to mix it up.

 

[Dark Jezter]

My group is hard to round up sometimes, and we seldom know when our next game will be. Because of this, we perfer hack 'n slash over a long, drawn out storyline that will take several sessions to play out.

I mean, if we can only get together once per month, my players would much rather charge into monster-infested ancient ruins for glory and gold than trying to find out who has been ordering the assinations of high-ranking government officials in the city of Waterdeep.

I've found that many groups who enjoy Hack-n-Slash enjoy it even more when they're hackin' 'n' slashin' someone they have a reason to hate. At the very least, mix in some pro rasslin' style story lines, so that when the trash-talkin' Orc sergeant finally gets what's comin' to 'im, the players are hyped about it.
