[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7909619, member: 6895991"] Wow Now that is a rant if there is one. I do not think that I could have done a similar piece so good. Questions: Was it a hobbit teenage ninja tortle with the pirate background? Nah sry just joking. But I know these kind of players, especially Pc3. For them their character and its development is the most important and the top fun. They do not need superstats or crazy feets and cool magic items. The main plot is not so important for them like their PCs emotional statistics. They are more into whether their PC just laughs or cries or is angry at another PC or NPC because this one does not laugh or cry about whatever situation is at hand. The upside on that: Many of them are extraordinary roleplayers. The downside of it: As a DM you have to write a pagelong essay about your homebrew / modded official campaign world and hope that said player finds his alter ego built into that framework somewhere. Good luck with that :p I did exaggerate a bit here, but only a bit. These guys would be top of the notch players if they would try a bit to fit their RP concept to the fluff they get from the DM. Edit: what is an everton style orc? I really feel dumb on that one. [/QUOTE]
