[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8641189, member: 19675"] I don’t play 5Ed, but extrapolating form other editions- and other RPGs as well- it depends. Before 3Ed, my D&D characters generally didn’t have much of a “plan” to them…but PCs in other systems often did. In 3.X, though, I routinely mapped out plans for the PC to grow. After all, [I]I [/I]had plans about my future, why couldn’t they have plans for theirs. And just like me, sometimes, the plan for the future had to change because things changed in the present. Given that, how long I would wait for my vision of a character to be realized would depend on the character and system in question. Sometimes, the GM would matter too. There was one guy who ran good games, but he was never satisfied with the [I]systems[/I] he was using to run them. So his campaigns would run a dozen sessions or so, then abruptly end. When he was the GM, I always played something with a front-loaded concept. [/QUOTE]
