[QUOTE="Patman21967, post: 1551539, member: 19260"] [b]my 2 cents worth[/b] If you want to strictly ROLEPLAY, the IMO the best option are LARPs. I play in 1 LARP a year, have an awesome weekend with friends I sometime see only on that weekend. We take over a wing of a whole hotel here in Delaware, and mostly all get rooms, even though many of us live no more than a half hour away. We game all day, then some of us party late into the night..this year is an awesome Star Trek one. But Sunday's are reserved for my DnD group. We have been gaming together for 16 years, and have a blast. I am a 7th level cleric/ 5th level warpriest. We don't numbers crunch, min/max etc..as much as we take stuff that maximizes our characters usefulness to the group within our characters concept. There are only 3 players and 1 GM at a time, so most tend to Multi-Class, so we are not caught with our pants down, lacking for a certain skill. For example, I begin my new game next week. The road they are taking is as follows. Barbarian/Rogue Fighter/Mage/Eldritch Knight Cleric/ Fighter/ Hammer of Moradin A nice group, but chosen with both roll-playing and Role-playing reasons. So there is room for both, I say having fun with friends, time away from the stresses of work, spouses, girl/boy friends, kids....etc...to hang with a group of guys on a Sunday night, eat pizza, drink a few beers and talk about that weeks football games are really really nice....kinda takes the edge off...and get in some fun playing to boot...the heck with people who pontificate as to what's right/wrong...and especially to those who denegrate our choice of hobbies. All my best, Patrick [/QUOTE]
