[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 1616347, member: 2673"] Is this a fairly new group? Have you taken over DMing from someone else, or have you guys only been playing six months. If so, they simply may not realize there's anything other than hack & slash. Talk to them at first, let them know you'd like to do more role-playing. Another thing you can do is parse the dice into more tangible results. For example, don't just let it go with a player say "I hit the goblin for six." When he says that, reply with something like "You drive your sword at the creature. It squeals like a stuck pig as your blade buries itself in its shoulder!" Make sure you make the PCs sound cool. With a little luck, they might start doing it themselves! If so just roll with it. Or Wulf may be right as well. They just might not want to role play. I'd look for some other players if you want to role play and they don't. Personally I don't see why total hack & slashers play tabletop at all - computers do it so much better. [/QUOTE]
