[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 5412711, member: 26473"] What of it? A story based on, or which incorporates elements from, a game isn't the same as playing the game. An adventure log or something similar recounts the events which took place while laying the game over the tabletop; it's not the game itself. Okay.Huh? Who's telling you how to run your character?Which is why I wrote in my first post to this thread that players in the games I run are welcome to write [i]as much [b]or[/b] as little[/i] as they wish if it helps them run their characters. As the referee, I'm only interested in what the characters [I]do[/I], because that tells me who they [I]really[/I] are.Because of my background playing roleplaying games, I know how to improvise when the occasion calls for it, and how to prep for the game to make improvising easier.:erm: Last time I checked, gamers who play themselves in the game-world are still playing a role.I don't know what a "weaker" player is, but to repeat myself yet again, players are welcome to create as much or as little background as they want to help them run their characters.:erm: Roleplaying is everything you do with your character in the game; it's not just when you use your funny 'in-character' voice.
