[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 5421006, member: 26473"] I don't know what "Small Drama" means in this context, nor am I entirely sure how you're using "theatrics" here. "Daily hardships" aren't a big deal, really, but interpersonal conflict is definitely the order of the day.To the extent that [i]The Three Musketeers[/i] and [i]Captain Alatiste[/i] and [i]Bardelys the Magnificent[/i] and [i]Under the Red Robe[/i] are soap operas, yes, I think that's fair.This Saturday will be the first time I actually have two of three players in the same room at the same time. I'm looking forward to it.I think there are some genres which work better with a small number of players - espionage is one, swashbuckling another, Arthurian knights-errant a third.First and foremost, it should be a fun roleplaying game, but to the extent creating an imaginary world that feels like a Rafael Sabatini or Alexandre Dumas novel helps facilitate that, then yes, that is one of my goals.Exactly the way I feel about most fantasy roleplaying games - dungeoncrawling is the only appeal holds [i]D&D[/i] for me, and I'm good with a once-a-year fix of that.Same here.
