[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5190827, member: 19675"] My current group? Most of the guys in it resemble this: [url=http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1075945100043730097jaJsPz]Stick in the Mud[/url] But to their credits, they're FUN sticks in the mud. They're not much interested in anything beyond D&D, but within that narrow scope, they're a blast to game with. I can honestly say I've rarely found myself enjoying a group more- especially when things descend into a comedy of the absurd (as things often do)- in my 30+ years of gaming. In fact, the only group that springs to mind were the guys at "Henchworld" in Austin (a group hosted by one Alan Hench). We're less likely to metagame- if things are going to go "pear shaped" because of the course of action a PC would likely take, we let them. Two sessions ago, we almost had a TPK...with the party doing most of the damage to the party! (A few failed saves vs Charm effects, a few[I] BAD[/I] tactical decisions, and a PC under an as-yet-to-be-revealed curse with a party of 11th level PCs makes for an exciting combat.) In addition, almost everyone in the group has run a campaign or 2, so its rare for someone to get stuck behind the screen. [/QUOTE]
