[QUOTE="Turanil, post: 1972735, member: 9646"] Listen to my experience! I am French living in France. I have played D&D for 20 years with numerous DMs. One of them is a Californian, and a friend of 15 years. Then, I recently met with a group of American gamers in Paris. Until then I did play with only one of them DM, and will have to wait to see two others of them DMing in their turn. As such, you see that I have a pretty good experience of French DMs vs. American DMs. A little suspense hehe... :D Well, as far as DMing or just playing is concerned I see NO cultural difference. No emphasis on roll-playing over role-playing due to cultural origin... Sorry to disappoint you. HOWEVER! (And this is true!) Several American gamers are GLAD of being able to drink French wine rather than coca-cola during our gaming sessions!!! (And my Californian friend of 15 years told me once he came in France mainly because of the food here!). :) [/QUOTE]
