[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6541944, member: 5834"] Preferably traditional fantasy open to all options. As long as the DM makes it fun and interesting, I don't worry about setting too much. I don't like humorous campaigns. Other than that, I let the DM handle it and do the best I can to support theme and tone as a player. I mostly like a hands off approach by the DM. I understand if they can't handle challenging powerful PCs and have to scale it back. I mostly like DMs proficient in challenging powerful characters. Though if a DM is very good at providing a fun role-play environment, I'll live with limitations on capabilities. If I feel the DM is lazy with encounter design or likes lots of character death because they believe it increases drama or challenge, then I'll pass. I don't like killer DMs. I don't like weak challenges where the players run over everything either. Only those the DM can't handle or are truly cheesy as in following the rules as written leading to an impossibly stupid result that usually leads to easy defeat of almost any challenge the DM can throw at the PCs. I like to roll stats. Makes for interesting character building in my experience. No magic or low magic world. Unless the DM is running a historical campaign set in the real world. In general, I want magic in the world and to be able to play casters. I enjoy casters more than any other class. I find it boring to swing, shoot, or throw a weapon over and over again without any other options. It would be like watching a house painter brush the paint on over and over again. My ideal campaign would have substantial role-playing including well-developed romantic interests, family life, social life, politics, recurring enemies, moral dilemmas, and a challenging combat with an occasional cool magic item all occurring within a well-developed story that is occurs in a naturalistic way that immerses you in the game world and makes it seem real.
