Craving battles

[Derro]

That said, when we have social encounters that last OVER AN HOUR it's all I can do not to bust a chair over some NPC for no reason other than to roll dice and crack heads. we've all got an inner hack-n-slasher that needs to come out and play once in a while.

Hahaha!

We've got a shat-load of minis so if we ever want straight up violence it's usually gonna be minis scenarios*. We have a minimum of one combat per game and if it is only one it's usually pretty major.

I enjoy the violence but after all these years (22) I like it to be in context. That being said two campaigns ago we did a gladiator/slave rebellion game and the first 4!!! sessions totaled 23(?) combats and a tiny bit of politicking. Then we all died after the city errupted into flames. Except the wizard, she flew away.

*Minis campaign, like from the Miniature's Handbook.

The game I run is all combat. yay! ..and Iron Heroes.

The game I play in is 1 combat per night, usually some special monster that is impossible to kill, and most of my character's abilities are like fly bites.
And the DM goes through everything, in detail, pretty much, micromanaging every gold piece that goes through our fingers. At 8th-9th level.
My g/f, who is in the game too, agrees that there needs to be more killing.
That last time I had any fun was like 3 sessions ago when some bystanders went running for help against the party's ambush, and I chased them all down. Though one somehow outran me in a narrow winding corridor, while I was hasted. I'd quit the game, but several of my friends are there, some of whom I've been playing since my introduction to 3rd edition.
