[QUOTE="Dash Dannigan, post: 764353, member: 6306"] Joe, Take a moment and step back from the game for a bit. Now, what prevents you from playing in other D&D games? Perhaps your DM might run a more rp orientated game with different players, perhaps he'll play with you in another game group. If you can then do so! Try to cherish the group you have now for what they are: A bunch of glory-hounding hackslashers in it for blood and gold, and enjoy it! Both ways have their fun, they are just different styles as we all well know. If I did nothing but straight roleplay all the time I'd make myself sick, afterall what kind of heroes just dallied about for an entire month just chatting with folk?? Epic tales demand epic accomplishments, be they diplomatic or action-packed, and so on... Each game group has its own distictive style and flavor to it. You cannot necessarily change a group, a group will grow and mature to reach its potential as a game group, but nay they do not change who they are, so don't try. Instead seek out, recruit, and convert other like-minded players/DMs. Don't rant when you can act! Is it so difficult? I ask because depending on where you live it may very well be. Then there are time constraints when considering multiple games...in that sense everyone else has given apt advice for you. Best of luck! :) [/QUOTE]
