Have been with the group for over 4 years now, the funny thing is, no matter how many different games we play, most of the characters end up playing essentially the same basic character. The funny thing is depending on the player, this is either an exaggeration of themselves or an idealized version of themselves.The one guy who inevitably plays the leader of the group tends to be an over the top version of himself. Loud, boisterous and full of life. Quirky to the max, but essentially himself.Another character, who is not as masculine as your typical muscle bound poster boy, always plays the dumb macho barbarian type character....almost an total exaggeration as how he would like to see himself.I tend to play myself in many respects, except a little less reserved. Being stuck in what is essentially expected to be a 'respectable' occupation where gaming is viewed as almost juvenile, I tend to be a little wilder and more out there. Also found out that I am actually essentially good by nature. As hard as I try to be the rogue or mercenary of the group, the character always ends up performing good deeds. And for some bizarre reason siding with the underdog...something I don't think I do in real life?GO figure <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />lupus</blockquote>
