[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 2862961, member: 327"] I suspect most people would think it's silly. But, it's simply an issue of what you want out of a role-playing game. Most of the friends I have at work that do play would hate the kind of game I run. They get together for 3-4 hours once every two weeks, they have no time for character development, comples plots, and all the RP. They want to kill stuff, have some excitement, and get some cool treasure. (Our group calls it the "roll initiative" style of gameplay, more combat than anything else.) It's awesome, if that's what you're looking for. For me, if you want that I can just play a CRPG or Warhammer if I just want that end of things. Anyway, I suspect the stuff I look for in an RPG is pretty rare and since it's not what most people look for out of their hobbies, it will just sound goofy and silly. [/QUOTE]
