How much of a mix is diffrent per group.In my tuesday night games I would say we are 40% rp and 40% storytelling and 20% war gameing on avrage...but when we are doing the orcus adventure path (H1-E3) there is a lot of dungon crawl in it...we play more like 50% wargame 40% RPG 10% storytellingon my saterday night game we are more like 80% wargame 15% storytellign and 5% rp...heck we very rarely talk 'in character'...how ever that same group (Yes every plyaer adn the DM) play LFR once a month...and we are always in character for that...The developers/Marketers are trying to show people ways to expand there games...that is not a bad thing...D&D is the premiere roleplaying game...it has it's roots in wargaming, and story games...so it is a healthy mix</blockquote>
