[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9357670, member: 6684958"] Yes. It depends on the players and depends on the group. For some players, when "Fangor the Mighty" dies they are just like "oh well, anyone what to go play basketball?" Many players then, and even now, play RPGs like 'wargames' or 'board games'. Well, most neo triad players want to be a chosen one and not just an everyman. To make a OC then say "I want him to be a beat cop stopping petty crimes" is not too common. And when are talking about a really mundane type adventure, that is more Triad. Triad is more for cop stories like....the show Cops. Where they pull over a driver, talk to them and write them a ticket...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Not that cops never has action... Neo Triad is...well, every cop tv show. Where the cops get into a gun fight with some crooks over an armored truck full of diamond dangling off a bridge and on fire. That is your way and it is fine. Vs the Triad of "the DM just does what they want" and "the DM will find out what the players like without asking them". A lot of DMs do make a big deal about backstories. The difference is: The Neo Triad DM asks the players directly what they want and then makes whatever they are told to make. The Triad DM makes whatever they want and often does not ask the players for anything. This is a big difference. [/QUOTE]
