[QUOTE="olshanski, post: 5552184, member: 7441"] Most of the players I met fall into this category: Chatters: These are players who simply use a roleplaying game as an excuse to get together with other people and chat about things they think are interesting... things like movies, politics, relationships, etcetera. They spend about half the evening actually playing, but the other half of the time they are socializing instead. Sure these people often bring drinks or snacks to share with everyone, and they sometimes tell really amusing anecdotes, and of course they actually care about what's happening in the lives of other players. And they are usually outgoing. but if I wanted to hang out with these "chatters" I'd probably just get friends instead. I don't think these players actually care a whole lot about the plot or the rules or the dice... as long as everyone at the table is having fun, these "chatters" seem to be satisfied. Unfortunately, almost everyone I play with falls into this trap at one point or another. EDIT: Crap, I missed "Seekers" above. Never mind this post... th Chatters are nothing more than "seekers" [/QUOTE]
