[QUOTE="scourger, post: 5509619, member: 12328"] So, another thread here and email discussions with my gaming group made me realize that my friends prefer a D&D play style that is very tactical & strategic (cowardly) whereas I prefer something more powergame & story oriented (heroic). The Hackmaster Basic (HMB) game that is on offer next looks to be the next installment of Dungeons & Dastards for me. Historically, I have played a hero anyway, which eventually leads to the hero's demise and me leaving the game until something else comes up. I'd like to do it differently this time since this is a group of friends and I really want to give HMB a fair try as a long-time reader of Knights of the Dinner Table (back to issue 1). Any advice on how to get back that lovin' feelin' is appreciated. Note that some references are for humor, but I seriously am trying to work out this problem for myself. Also note that trying to get the others to play differently will probably be like asking the sun not to shine in the day time. Similarly, me not playing is a less desirable option. Thanks in advance as I will be AFK for a while. [/QUOTE]
