(although DAMN I look goofy in this picture)

I got some bad news for you if you thinks its the picture that is making you look goofy.....

Well, I've taken it down and asked for its deletion. I feel like I know you Rel, and can joke with you, but you may not exactly feel the same, so I just don't feel like I should do that.

I've said as much in the other thread but it's fine. I'm awfully hard to offend, particularly given the guidelines of ENWorld.

No worries mate.

I'm all man, baby!!

It was the prefect set up, I could not let it go.

Well, posting a pic and "admitting", "Don't I look goofy," is one thing. Someone else posting that pic and soliciting jokes at the pictured's expense is something else. I'm glad all's cool.

Anyway, about them leaders...

We don't have a player leader in the two games I play in (which have many of the same players). All of us are pretty experienced players and have common sense, so we've never (yet) had a place where someone had to make the call for the whole party in a situation.

Characterwise: In one of my games, the cleric of war is pretty much assumed to be the party leader, but more because he was the first to pick up the magic artifact that gives the party lots of cool abilities. However, in play, the players decide together, even if NPCs look to that cleric for a spokesman.

Our group never seems to have a designated leader, and generally we function on decision-making by consensus rather than leadership. Maybe that's why we have a hard time coming to decisions.

Normally there are no party leaders in the RPG games I have played. But because of one of my DM's game style of all of his NPCs only wanting to talk to "the leader" of our group, the group had to eventually and begrudgingly come up with one. When I later joined this campaign I created a social/oration bard that was from the ground up conceptualized to be a born leader. Someone like Mal from Firefly (although Mal kicks more ass than my character). After a while I asked for the leadership position and got it.

But after this experience, this group of gamers always selects a leader in the games we play, even under different DMs. I suppose that I have successfully sold the idea to them. And another player has done what I did and created a social character built for leadership.

Of course, in the Starship Trooper game I'm in, the leader is the guy shooting for the officer prestige class.
