[QUOTE="Truth Seeker, post: 5225430, member: 11804"] There are those who are just 'roll players' and is just there to see the numbers invoked. And then there are 'role players' who are just there to just do the 'social interaction', less dice using, more talking. Then there are folks who are out there...that balances both aspects. (Like me) For some, that is a sign of maturity increasing, taste changing and adjusting one's perpection on what you want of the game. Then again...there are some who don't wish to excel and stay 'stationary' for the duration of their gaming life. (You all has seen this effect during your gaming experience), and some folks wll never change, cause they don't want to leave their 'comfort zone'. For me...recognizing that this 'game' does requires [B]social interaction[/B] to function well, to have fun and progress either in level or learning something new (and you do, some of the time). I make it a mission to be active with the character and as being a player as well. Now these days...I just lay back and let 'new' players show their stuff before me and I adjust my input on what they do. Still a challenge these days and it keeps my halves of 'roll' & 'role' playing pretty busy. I won't tell you outright on where to find your 'lost' taste. When that happens....take a break and do some self-examination on what you need to be fullfilled. [/QUOTE]
