[QUOTE="Uruush, post: 3042864, member: 42140"] Hi, Fishbone. :) Well, we're all in our late 30s and have been in about eight million combats in various RPGs over the years. Most of us started playing in the late 70s. That has something to do with it, I'm sure. In media res is an awesome device, but the "action" doesn't have to be combat for us, (or a lot of gamers, actually). We have all kinds of conflict and drama in our games, sometimes absolutely gut-wrenching contention. Just doesn't involve sticking a longsword in someone's gizzard most of the time. But sometimes it does. And when we do have a combat, you can bet it's over something serious, and that the entire group will be will be teetering in the brink of the abyss... It won't be any little "take up 25% of the party's resources"... :] [/QUOTE]
