[QUOTE="Brekke, post: 1031586, member: 4369"] After reading this entire thread I see two styles here people who get together to socialize and play a little DnD and those who get together to play and maybe do a little socializing. I think the problem comes in when you try to mix the two styles of people. I for example want to play. If the out of game talk gets to the point of stopping the game it really annoys me. That said I like the people I play with so if they don't want to play that just sit around and talk that is fine too. Luckily for me the group usaully wants to play we talk before the game and sometimes after. Sure we crack jokes during the game but the focus is on the game. What I found amusing from reading this thread is the snide comments from both sides as to who is right or wrong. The serious gamers are uptight and the party guys are dillitantes. The solution is really simple play with people who have your tastes as for the problem of the DM who started this thread he should talk to his players and see how they feel. Maybe some of the players feel the same way he does but are getting dragged into the chit chat. As hard as this is to do the DM either needs to change his style or find a group whose style of play is more like his. [/QUOTE]
