Some of my friends have invited me to join one of their new D&D campaigns with them, but I'm starting to wonder if I would enjoy it. Help this complete newbie out.
Okay, let's get some background information here. I hate roleplaying. I don't mean I want light roleplaying in my games, but that I have absolutely no interest in it. My preferred character backstory is "Me Wizard". I have no interest in the lore, world, characters, or plot. In fact, a plot consisting entirely of "The president has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue him?" is far preferable to me than something as good as "A Song of Fire & Ice". Fantastic books, but not in my gaming.
The idea of playing a game with a group of friends and working together to advance through a dungeon and putting our heads together to defeat enemies and bosses is what is appealing to me. Working together as players rather than characters. A bit of light roleplaying wouldn't kill me, but I'm starting to wonder if I should drop out. Do you think this anti-RPG gamer would have any fun?
