[QUOTE="Doc_Klueless, post: 7347252, member: 261"] [B][I]Absolutely! [/I][/B]When I start talking about what I like and what I don't like, it's inevitably going to revolve around me. But I think you might be reading more into my statement that is there. These are simply about my preferences, BUT I'm grown up enough to know that gaming is about compromise. More times than not, there is going to be some aspect of the game/adventure/session that I don't enjoy. But I enjoy my friends and their own enjoyment of the game so much, that I'm willing to compromise and still have a great time. For example: My current two campaigns use published campaigns: on my Fantasy Grounds, it's Forgotten Realms. On my roll20/face-to-face game, it's Eberron. Having a blast. Just not what I prefer. Whenever I start a game for whatever system, one of the first questions I ask the players is: Homebrew or Published? Followed by: Which system? My favorite meal is Tex-Mex. Love, love Tex-Mex. I don't like Chinese food. I'll eat it, but I don't like it. If my friends or date want Chinese food, I'll eat it without bitching and moaning. Because I eating is secondary to the social interaction. I feel the same way about gaming. It's why I played in a multi-year long Pathfinder Campaign. Really don't like Pathfinder. My friends did. So I played in it and had a great time because of the interaction among players. [/QUOTE]
