I guess my group really isn't in the norm, then,
Our group runs two kinds of games: Good games, and filler games.
Good games are those that have a lot of time and effort put into them, and we normally emulate our character in those ones. (We've also a large collection of medieval weaponry that comes into play. Only two people have been stabbed!
)
Filler games are those which are thrown together (Normally one-shots) because we're all bored and want something to do in between the 'good' games. Little costuming there...but we still bust out the weapons,
