[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6607653, member: 6696971"] I certainly think I would be a creative, proactive player (not quite an instigator, but definitely pushing toward conflict like [MENTION=205]TwoSix[/MENTION] mentioned above). I just wonder about "enduring" being solely a player for a several months-long (perhaps a year or more) campaign without finding my mind wandering toward the meta-aspects of play and/or needing lots and lots of varying stimulation. I would definitely need a focused game, that is for sure. I've been a player in a few evenings worth of Cthulu and Dread games (by a very good horror GM), an evening of Dogs from one of my players that wanted to try their hand out at a single town/conflict, and a few dungeon crawls as a wizard and a cleric. Those were fun enough and I was certainly actively engaged mentally and emotionally (on behalf of my PC). I've just never done the extended play thing so I'm left wondering if my (GM) players are correct in that someone can become operatively conditioned from 30 + years of solely GMing such that they are incapable of "staying frosty" as a player in a long term game...that listlessness is inevitable. I'll never find out, I'm sure, but it is a curious hypothesis. [/QUOTE]
