[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5211378, member: 2093"] Hmmm... I have a fairly stable group, too. My husband and I have been playing together for 30 years, so his bad habits all come from me, or from his own personal style. He's fairly paranoid, but trusts me to essentially tell the truth, or give some hints to it, anyway. He's certainly willing to leave "most" of the armor home when they go shopping! My best friend has been playing with us for over 15 years, now. She's a roleplayer, and while she likes combat, she'll find a way to twist anything into a more complex plot than it was originally. Again, though, she's not paranoid about things; she just likes to find connections to things. Scotty and Kyle are my newer players (only one full year with us); they're father and son. We're Kyle's first full-time experience, so he's learning caution and forethought as he plays (he's 13). Scotty is a wild-hare player, ready to leap in any direction at a moment's notice. He's never too trusting, but he often goes along with plots because he wants to see where they end up. Bobby is another long-term player (about 20 years) with a few gaps in there... but he's steeped in the comic book style of play. He'll trust anyone, multiple times, and take their betrayals in stride with a grin. He's cautious physically, but never worries about the future. So I would say that none of them have been "spoiled"... they each have a distinct way of looking at things, and a distinct set of things they enjoy. I try to give them all what they want, and we go from there. [/QUOTE]
