[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2740078, member: 8447"] Yes, absolutely. The RP outweighs the G in the games our group prefers. It's not that the Game aspect is of no importance, that characters never die, or that the unexpected can never happen -- all of these happen with fair regularity. OTOH, we are all about the larger story and about the characterizations. So rolls get fudged for dramatic import (both up and down, but only by given amounts). And a couple of times whole campaigns have ended simply due to TPK -- no party, no plot and that is that. Characters join in because it is appropriate, not simply because one of the gamers has lost a character and now has a new one. Levelling up happens between sessions. Mechanics are fudged or ignored if they are unimportant to the story (these changes are usually for the whole campaign, not simply a single situation). If I wanted a pure Game, I'd still be playing miniatures battles. I hated those. Now I play Role Playing games. Makes me happier by far! :cool: [/QUOTE]
