[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8196078, member: 18"] I'd phrase it as "not never". Like it's often enough that I can think of multiple specific sessions in the COVID timez, but they're a small minority of the total. 5-10% probably. Other RPGs it can be higher, though D&D isn't the fightiest RPG I've ever played - I think that would be Cyberpunk 2020, which I don't think we ever had a session where someone didn't get shot (though I know Mike Pondsmith had plenty, Listen Up You Primitive Screwheads makes that clear). Partly that was due to having a true munchkin in the party (since reformed) who would literally intentionally end social or sneaking scenes by shooting people with very large and loud handguns if he didn't feel he was "winning". It's maybe worth noting that the shorter your sessions, the more likely it is. We rarely go much beyond 3 hours atm and sometimes it's more like 2, and that has made it so obviously more sessions have no combat than when we regularly went 6-8 hours back in the day. [/QUOTE]
