I'd also like to answer (and comment on some of) them:1) fantasy and horror2) character growth, action, story (stories should be action-driven and ideally be rooted in some pc's background)3) sure!4) (unfortunately) I don't get GNS.5) There are no guarantees. I'm mainly in this for the fun, though, i.e. to socialize.6) 4-6 players7) I don't mind either, but it depends on the kind of campaign - if there are too many GMs, it's hard to create a consistent campaign. If it's supposed to be just a series of one-offs, that's fine, too.8) I enjoy challenges. However it shouldn't be nothing _but_ challenges. Keep the really challenging stuff for climactic encounters.9) I already answered that in the other thread in more detail. The short answer: Yes, but rarely (assuming it isn't always final) / yes, of course! (note that I feel the question is a bit loaded - mainly because of the second question)10) I expect the GM to be fair and describe the environment in a way that will allow me (the player) to pick up the things that my character would notice, and act accordingly. (This question is definitely loaded - the bracketed part is simply unneccessary. I've experienced too many GMs not taking a pc's experience and background into account when giving 'hints'. I don't like having to ask for details that my character would simply know for having grown up in the campaign world and being a competent adventurer [assuming of course, I _am_ indeed playing a competent adventurer!].)  11) PCs of players not present should simply fade into the background.12) Yeah, what is 'traditional' gaming? I don't enjoy the classic, gygaxian dungeon-delving style. I prefer my adventures to have some background that makes sense, but apart from that I don't expect anything overly innovative.13) Is this asking me if I want to be rail-roaded? If so, no. I want to be given options, but I don't care about 'complete freedom'. There should be a 'story framework', scenes that can lead one way or another, but not a vast 'sandbox' without any direction.14) Fast-paced please! Buying equipment should be routine, unless it's an important part of the story, likewise encountering guards.15) I enjoy them - but not during the game.</blockquote>
