[QUOTE="MadMaxim, post: 1511738, member: 15207"] Well, I've had quite a few discussions with my DM concerning everything from rules to style of play. The discussions have become pretty heated from time to time and we haven't always been able to conclude them properly. He believes that our group is more interested in hack 'n' slash than NPC interaction and roleplaying, but he has never really served up anything that could put his assumption to the test. He also believes that combat takes up way too much time in every session (each session lasts for about 5-6 hours) and that's the reason why he has to compress his campaign to make us able to complete it in a couple of months. When I DM (in the same group), I try to mix a little bit of everything into my campaign, but I put the emphasis on combat, as it is usually where everyone gets a chance to shine and my group enjoys combat. If I've prepared too much (if we don't have time to finish it), I just try to find a suitable place to stop instead of rushing it. But that's just me and my DM... [/QUOTE]
