Message: <blockquote data-quote="kitsune9" data-source="post: 6009712" data-attributes="member: 18507">Question 1Which of these genres interest you the most? (choose one or more)Fantasy mixed  with horrorQuestion 2What sort of emphasis would you like the game to have? (choose one or more)actionQuestion(s) 3Will you be willing to get to know the game and learn to understand the game-world? Will you read the GM’s e-mails and hand-outs outside the game?Of course.Question 4Which of these are you and how much?GamistNarrativistSimulationistI fit with G and S moreso than N.Question 5What guarantees a good game? Short answers please.A DM who prepares the adventure instead of pulling it out of his butt as he goes along.Question 6What is the ideal size of a gaming group?4-6 playersQuestion 7Do you prefer a designated GM or a GM hot-seat?Designated GM.Question 8How challenging the game should be to player characters? Please note that this has nothing to do with how challenging the game is to players.Should be really tough. Easy to die at low-levels. No cake walks.Question 9Can bad dice rolls kill characters? Can characters die at all? (already discussed in a separate thread)Yes and definitely yes.Question 10How much the GM should help players in game? With rule-questions the GM must help of course but if the character is in a tight spot and should make a decision, should the GM offer an option (thus putting words in the players mouth – “ok, I’ll do that!”) or should the player be given the right to make his/her own decisions, whether right or wrong? Should the GM have a GMPC which guides players through difficult spots?Very little involvement should occur.Question 11What do with a PC when the player can’t come?Other player plays the PC for full XP if it's arranged or the character is off doing something for no XP.Question(s) 12Do you like traditional gaming? (whatever that is?) Do you enjoy groundbreaking, innovative games?Groundbreaking, innovative games that only modernize traditional gaming concepts (i.e. I like new dice mechanics, but won't play in some narrative in which dice is replaced by Scrabble pieces or Jenga blocks).Question 13Do you want the GM to prepare the session and to write the story or would you like the characters to create the story themselves? Script vs. freedom, which do you prefer?I prepare the session, but I don't put the players on rails.Question 14How fast-paced the game should be? Can we stop to buy equipment for an hour or should the GM be ruthless and skip over the parts that he doesn’t deem vital to the story? (referring to “guards at the gate”)I skip most mundane parts unless it's specifically part of the campaign (i.e. overland travel in which tracking food and water is important).Question 15How do you feel about having off-game discussions about in-game issues?I don't mind meta-gaming.</blockquote>
