Sadly most of my role-play comes as the DM managing various NPCs. One of my favorites in that regard is when as a "guide" I convinced Robiler to rush into the lair of a dragon. When he did so, the "guide" shouted a loud warning, as he was employed by the dragon as a sentinal. When Robilar managed to slay the beast anyway, I managed to talk that NPC's way out of death at the enraged fighter's hands too<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Regardless of the role being played though, I fear I too often fall into a lighter mode, tend towards making jokes and punning. Young people not only have little social experience, but they are still trying to find out who they are in reality. Thus they typically do not enjoy much roleplay, fearing the others present will think them silly or different, or worse, that older persons hearing them will think them odd. Agreed. What is to be shunned at all costs is rule-play! Heh, and you'd be bashing a fair number of "industry pros" in that exercise, not to mention the mahority on another RPG website or three I shall refrain fron naming.Cheers,Gary</blockquote>
