[QUOTE="Wendell_Burke, post: 9247211, member: 6935847"] I've noticed that it's not uncommon for some discussions to get derailed by tangents. I was trying to be as concise as possible in my description of playstyle to avoid this, and to encourage participation, but it looks like maybe I should elaborate a bit. 'The Method Actor' description provided in 'Theory of Games'' link works well enough for me, though I shied away from using it in my post because method acting is so often misunderstood in gaming discussions. Basically I was thinking of gamers who are most inspired and entertained by approaching rpgs as an actor and who like to focus on the psychology and emotions of the characters and npcs. It doesn't matter to me if you're a professional actor or total amateur, just that you enjoy asking and answering questions in this direction and are positively interested in this perspective. This reminded me of a quote I like a lot by Meryl Streep about getting into character. “Acting is not about being someone different. It’s about finding the similarity in what is apparently different and then finding myself in there.” [/QUOTE]
