[QUOTE="Wofano Wotanto, post: 9337636, member: 7044704"] I don't know how to quantify G but I do like some of it, maybe more than most people? At the same time I'm pretty open-minded about what RP is, with one notable exception: I really need at least one other human being involved in the process to be convinced it's RP rather than a creative writing exercise or voice practice or something. Solo (like, say, TFT's Death Test played solo, or an adventure book, or many CRPGS) can be a fine G experience, but it just doesn't feel like RP for me. I've played with people who insisted that if you don't own a period costume you weren't taking the game seriously. Thankfully they were cool with loaning out suitable garb. Less intense groups often use hats and (generally dreadful) accents. Heard stories about games where everyone spoke in French because it was the language of Diplomacy. We used to get those pretty regularly in one of my old neighborhoods. If you put up "No Trespassing" signs at least you can have them carted off by the police when they start ranting at your garage about politics at 3AM in the morning. "Sir, please go home to bed. My domicile is not part of the military-industrial complex." [/QUOTE]
