[QUOTE="Kabouter Games, post: 7026983, member: 6788812"] That's [B]brilliant[/B]. I'm jealous. :) [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maccabees[/url] That depends entirely upon the group. If they want to go a direction you don't, and you insist on going your direction, well...the shoe might very well fit, should you insist they adapt to and accept your direction. Not that you would, but since we're dealing in hypotheticals. ;) That I adore. I've encountered a Bob the Human. Oddly, his player turned into an excellent player. He was brand new, never rolled a Platonic solid before, never role-played before. He took about 30 minutes to grok what was going on, but stuck to the name and role-played the character as an amnesiac. Never had Fighty McFightface. I just made that up based on the internet rage for [URL="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/boaty-mcboatface"]that particular naming convention[/URL]. Thanks. You've just made that little tic over my left eye come back. The closest I ever came was having a cavalier whose warhorse was a mare named "Buttercup." It was a great deal of fun. We just flat-out attacked a couple of storm giants who weren't even doing anything. We were trying to commit suicide, because all of us are bored with our characters. Still didn't work. Dang it. I'm so SOFA KING sick of the cleric I'm playing. I want to try something new. Horses for courses, me ol' china. :D I've been doing this long enough that I lose interest in the crunch almost instantly. Without the crunch, all that interests me is the story, setting up a scenario and reacting to how the players react. I've never been in an Encounters or AL group that's ever been anything other than a barrel of never-serious laffs. My home games for the last few years have been spun off AL groups, taking the people who want more in-depth exploration of characters and RP. Namby-pamby PC gone mad! TRUMP MURIKA HURR DURR Seriously, though, thank you for putting it more kindly. ;) Cheers, Bob [url]www.r-p-davis.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
