While I chose the former over the latter, "More roleplaying, less combat" for my group is "The perfect balance between combat and roleplaying" ;)

I went with perfect mix, assuming about 50% mix between the two. I enjoy roleplaying (and I wish I was better at this aspect as a DM), but I also enjoy some combat in there. Getting the combat to mean something makes it all the better.
 

Im playing in a Gurps based game for Kalamar right now, and we haven't had combat in SUCH a long time. We're getting close to it though, we can all feel the tension...
In a perfect world I would be roleplaying and habing combat. Combat is often stream-lined to simple "attack" style things, no roleplaying there; why spend time on something that may not work. Another problem is Im in a culture I cant even communicate with! So I haven't been able to roleplay to my full extent, but I have still tried.
 


I chose a perfect mix. Yeah, there are days when roleplaying is a drag, and I just want mindless slaughter, and other days when the muse in me likes to dazzle with words. But normally I'm somewhere inbetween, and can usually have fun in either case. Though combat does play a greater role in most of the games I'm in.
 

Perfect mix, we prefer mostly story with about one or two major combats every session (with the time combats take, that's usually a perfect time split). Sometimes a session is nearly all out combat, when it's part of the story. For example last session a army of Hobgoblins startet to invade Sharn. Sometimes we have only about one minor fight in a session.
 

My preferred style of play is mostly roleplay with some combat, although I'd love to be a part of an adventure that is based solely on roleplaying without any combat, though that is probably not going to happen, unless someone runs Blue Rose. I love puzzles and adventures that make the players think. I don't get enough of my style, but at least the games I play in seem to be the perfect mix of combat and role-play, although some adventures are more Hack-N-Slash.
 

The poll is loaded. The only possible answer is "perfect mix", since that actually includes options "100% combat", "100% roleplay" and even "100% bardic music revelry", each of which is the "perfect mix" for the one who's voting ;)
