Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 4224371" data-attributes="member: 710">GNS & Robin Laws...Okay, here's what I want to do, ideally:I want to play in a world I can conceptually understand. Where stories told in the real world (or even happening there) could happen, within the limitations of the fantasy world, and augmented by the non-real-world elements of the fantasy world. So, an experienced veteran dying when falling from his horse and a one-legged pirate captain should make sense in the game world. I want to create a character with game mechanic abilities that represent his personality and style. During play, I always want to have the ability to rely on my mechanical abilities to advance the story or the game. In combat, I want to use special tactical maneuvers that make the scene exciting and let me kick my enemies but. When discussing the kings expansion politics, I want my characters ability, not just my ability to read the DM minds, to matter. In the game, I want to tell the story of my character achieving his goals (or at least trying to do so), finding allies, having romances, beating his nemesis, saving the princess/nation/world...Doing all this, I want to feel tension, the fear of failure, setbacks and the rewards of success.What am I?</blockquote>
