[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4562083, member: 115"] Don't listen to Trouvere, he's... well, suffice to say I disagree so strongly with his post that anything I say will inevitably be a personal attack at this point. He does introduce a point though - always make sure you're with a group you're comfortable with, either in person, play by post, or whatever you find whenever you find it. You will find that you won't be a good match for every group, or they won't be a good match for you. This is normal, and to be expected. If for some reason you're not having fun, try finding another group (or in this case, PbP). No one poster is characteristic of the hobby as whole... there are many different ways to play. A while back there was a post/essay on play styles by... I want to say Monte Cook, but I don't know if that's who wrote it. It did a good job characterizing how people play D&D; whether it's about the story, or the tactics, or the character building, or what not. Maybe someone can jump in and provide a reference for it, it's a good background on how the game is played. [/QUOTE]
