Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rya.Reisender" data-source="post: 7105778" data-attributes="member: 6801585">I'm also a DM that doesn't like roleplaying. But I tell that to my players during recruitment. I always directly state that I suck at roleplaying and am very combat focused. Yet I continuously get players that are pretty good roleplayers and come up with stuff I didn't expect. I actually enjoy watching my players roleplaying with each other, I just don't want to roleplay NPCs much, because that's not very enjoyable for me. I'm more interested in trying out all kinds of combat tactics to outwit the PCs with my weaker minions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />I'm not sure if you can talk your DM into roleplaying, but it sure is worth trying.If it was me, I probably wouldn't, because DMing is a lot of work as it is already and the only thing that keeps me doing all this work without ever quitting is that I enjoy it. I'd rather ask my players to stop trying to negotiate with every single enemy and just fight already (well, I never actually had to ask that because my players always eventually noticed that these guys are just mad and it's not possible to negotiate with them). Though of course I'm not completely ignorant if they just want to talk with a villager. If the adventure path itself covers what the NPC says that I'll play that out of course, the problems comes with stuff the adventure path does not cover.</blockquote>
