[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8119802, member: 6803664"] Why? None of those apply. *Only game in town & it's not my cup-o-tea? What an absurd hypothetical. But no, I'd rather not play in a game I won't enjoy. And I've got plenty of ways to fill that time while I wait for it to cycle around to something I do like. Wich it will. *Friends + premise I'm not excited by? (shrugs) I have that going on right now. A friends trying to recruit me into a Cthulu based PF1 game (Strange Eaons AP). Cthulu's not really my thing. They know this. Right now, for the next several weeks, I'm busy on the evening their playing & they know this as well. But once my schedule clears I'm likely going to pass. They know this too. There'll be games in the future. *That's not how I decide what characters to play, so an even more absurd hypothetical than the 1st... Not all characters/concepts fit all games. So if I've got an idea that doesn't fit? Then I'll just save it for a game where it will. There's plenty of other options I enjoy & there'll be games in the future. So it doesn't hurt anything to put the idea on the back burner for now. On the assumption I was bought into playing in this DS game? Then I'd create a character that A) fits within the parameters I'd bought into & B) fits the more specific region/city/adventure/party details. If I'm [I]not[/I] bought into this DS game it does not follow that I'm not continuing on with this group. I play these (and other) games with friends. We'll still be friends & still be playing games together wether or not I'm trekking across Athis or playing Strange Aeons with them.... And eventually the game will cycle to something I like or it'll cycle to my turn to DM. [/QUOTE]
