[QUOTE="A flannel shirt, post: 5607235, member: 90161"] It is easier to show then explain fully. My fault for not being too clear. I hope the images works. Borrowing them from ENWorld Chicago Gameday's Photos. #1 The group sits around one table together; there is a battle mat in the middle, miniatures, scenery, and a DM/ST/GM at one end of the table behind a screen. Pentius and Oryan77 have the best examples. Combat to RPing % is 55:45. I don't put too much stock in this due to the games can be all combat or all RPing but this ratio is close. [URL]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189552_133120923425024_121115257958924_205765_3004718_n.jpg[/URL] #1 is summed up as balanced between RPing and combat sitting around a table with minis and grid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #2 The group sits around their own table and on a couch or chair. A DM/ST/GM is sitting at a “Station” that is the head of the room. The game is centered around story telling. No maps, miniatures, or grid. JamesonCourage and Jacob Marley's responses are the best examples. Combat to RPing % is 20:80 I don't put too much stock in this due to the games can be all combat or all RPing but this ratio is close. [URL]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/188657_133121026758347_121115257958924_205768_3765011_n.jpg[/URL] If the picture works look at the guy in the black bandana. Now imagine this but on the other side of the room and the players around the room sitting at their own little areas. #2 is summed up as more RPing than combat with each person sitting around their own table without minis or a grid. I like both ways, just wondering [I][B]what others DO[/B][/I] or [I][B]prefer[/B][/I]. [/QUOTE]
