[QUOTE="Valiant, post: 3760029, member: 54792"] My sincere apologies then, this is a long thread (a fast read threw) and It's very possible I'm attributing anothers posts to you. Anyhow, glad to hear that your a 1Eer. ;) You know, its amazing how many 3.5ers aren't into the role play aspect of the game, but rather prefer the fiddling with their skills and feats; battle has become a way to customize and get more skills and feats (with level progression) rather then a reason to go do stuff. 3E really is a very different game then 1E, almost its opposite in many core ways. Hussar, I think you miss-understood me. I'm not at all into thespian acting, I've never done it. In our 1E games, the player keeps his personality the action takes place in the players head not at the table. Here is an example of how we play: DM says to players: "A guard blocks the gate into the keep, he signals you to stop and turn around." Player says: "I'll (or my PC will) walk up to the guard with a smile and tell him I must get past, even though its late, because I've been out visiting a wench and I don't want my wife to find out. I'll then tell the guard she has a sister if your interested". The DM then determines if this works however the hell he wants. Now, some degree of talking in first person occurs on occasion and its usually the DM doing it "Get back scum, this gates closed after dark". But thats not thespian acting, its more like text from an adventure fantasy book in 1st person. There is a HUGE difference, Thespian Acting at the table is not 1st person talking. True Thespian acting has more to do with the players leaving behind their personalities and slipping on some new one to experiment with and act out. These are the worst sort of players to be around during a game. Whats important to the thespian actor isn't whats going on in there imaginations, but rather there table performance amusing there friends. [/QUOTE]
