[QUOTE="JollyDoc, post: 1876805, member: 9546"] I suppose I'm just the opposite. I am more of a "if the rules allow it, they go for it" kind of mentality. To me, it cheapens the game to play a sub-par character just because you are afraid it might unbalance the game. I see it as a challenge to my DM skills to keep provide pimped-out PC's with equally pimped-out challenges which walk a fine line between fun, yet nerv-wracking, and lethal. It's like Joachim said, we are not big on "role-playing." Now, don't get me wrong...when I say this, what I mean is that we don't get into faux british accents for characters, talking to barmaids, picking pockets of bystanders or your fellow PC's, coming up with home-made poetry, etc. We role-play within the context of the adventure...ie asking appropriate questions of PC's, interacting with other party members, etc, but we enjoy role-playing as a means of moving along the action. Again, our style of play is not for everyone, and that's what makes this game so great...it can fit anyone's style. Our SH is just one group's version, and we submit it for your enjoyment, and hopefully approval. Read on! [/QUOTE]
