[QUOTE="deganawida, post: 9025540, member: 67836"] I guess FKR is kind of my default? I’ve mentioned a little bit about my introductions to D&D, but didn’t really go into them. My first exposure was on a trip back from Centrifuge. One guy acting as DM, three of us as players. We had basic classes (I was a thief), and there were no dice involved. Second exposure, though I was already playing TMNT at the time, was a series of campaigns run by a friend of mine and I was the only player. Was in junior high, and it was done over the phone. Again, no dice involved. In both cases, decisions were made by the DM based upon my own problem solving, creativity, and knowledge of the world and physics, biology, and psychology. They were a blast, and were very fundamental to my approach to RPGs. Whenever I run a game for my group or my family, we make the characters, and then only as many die rolls as possible. I typically have the players describe to me what they’re doing (there’s no “I attack”), and then I may make have a quick attack roll or I may skip it if they have a really good description of what they’re doing and I think it’s reasonable based on how I described the opponent’s last position or action. Games I run tend to be pretty fast as a result, and the players get really invested in it, giving more and more detailed descriptions of what they do and say. So, all that is to say, I’m glad I’m not (just) weird, and there are other people who do similar stuff. [/QUOTE]
