[QUOTE="Jon_Dahl, post: 5863048, member: 89822"] Welcome Kastro! A lot of people say RPGs are about having fun together. However I'm worried that someone who is new to this hobby might be blinded by this advice which is commonly heard here. Think about any other game. They provide challenges, they are exciting, they make you think about problems and maybe even basic questions of life. "Fun" is the result of playing games and it should not be forced. Sometimes I think to myself that there are gamemasters out there that give out too much, make the games some sort of parodies or make them too simple, just to make sure that everyone is having maximum fun. The facts that Darth Vader was Luke's father or that Bambi's mother died were unfun but they made a great story. I would advice you to concentrate more on your story than simply having a bit of fun. Your friends will remember epic adventures for years but a few laughs will be quickly forgotten. [/QUOTE]
