[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 7652486, member: 36150"] [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION]: Please move to Canada and teach my fellow players how to think. They're both much younger than me and relatively new to tabletop; they're okay with "whatever" characters and fairly oblivious to setting. Being the oldest in the group, I usually (though not always) get saddled with being the Leader/spokesperson, and we usually end up following the campaign around rather than explore characters and NPCs... It does not help that I also have silly amounts of tabletop xp and am always looking for more interesting and unusual settings, where the others are content with whatever is placed before them. The DM is very decent, puts a lot of work into the presentation of his campaign settings and NPC's relevant to the players... but there's just something... well. Sandboxing doesn't lend well to RP and it's hard to be RP-intensive when you have a (4e) Goliath Sentinel who wants to avoid ever meeting his tribe and a Thri-Kreen Fist Weaponmaster [though this guy is in LOVE with the Thri-Kreen and he's designing their whole ecology as we go, so he's doing alright]. I've opted for a bard-like Human Hexblade with a focus on languages and rituals and more thief than magical. I'm veering towards rant mode, but bottom line, yes. PC-centric games work. Sandboxing also works, but there needs to be a balance, I think. I just don't know what balance I'm looking for. :-S [/QUOTE]
