[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2441765, member: 13098"] I do both. Heck, I do both in the same campaign. Much of it depends on personal mood. At times I don't have the energy to get into the headspace of my character. But I am still with my group and still trying to participate in some ways. For different players, I have noticed that some of them are uncomfortable with blurring the lines of who they are and what they are doing for recreation. I have had players who want to immerse deeply sitting at the same table with those that are very hesitant over the barest immersion. I try to juggle them so they both have fun at the table. some folks are just more self-conscious and feel uncomfortable taking on the first person persona of 'somebody else'. They may prefer a third person persona. For what it is worth, I find that the more personal the RP actions are, the less immersive some people are comfortable being. I mean, when you are playing the dashing rake trying to seduce the elegant noblewoman, but you are at a table with all your male gaming buddies, you might get a little uncomfortable speaking in first person to the bearded game master running the noblewoman NPC.
