[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 1594053, member: 4134"] For me, D&D is as much a played story as it is a told game. I like both and I want both. On the one side, the game has to have a good story, with reoccuring NPC's, with a big plot in the background, with sidequests, a story that involves the PC's, one that makes me await the next game session impatiently. I also like my charakters to be more than just stats. They must have a personality, a background, some quirks (even though one way or the other, they resemble me a bit). But I also want to have a character that is "effective" - one that can contribute to things, be it combat or conversation. And I like them to be challenged by the fights and tasks that are set before us. I wouldn't like a game without a good story, but I also wouldn't liek a game where my character sheet is all but useless. I confess that I am a powergamer and min-maxer, at least to a certain degree: my characters have to be useful to be fun. But I also put a story behind the character, and make them more than just numbers on a piece of paper, and I try to play out the disadvantages my character has (and some of these aren't to be found on the sheet).
