[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4802937, member: 19675"] Ahhh...the Golden Quote! IMHO, that's just a matter of how a particular GM runs his game. [B]I[/B] have no problem letting people network in a city, take up farming, etc.- usually, its the other gamers who do. In the RW, they do their housework, network in the city, etc., and when they game, they want [I]adventure[/I]. They're not interested in fleshing out FRPG analogues to every aspect of their real lives. As far as I can tell, if you have a [I]whole group [/I]of people who want to RP everyday life in an FRPG setting, you can do it in almost any RPG. But IME, if you have a mix of traditional (adventuring) role-players and "Joe Homebody" role-players, eventually, the former are going to get peeved with the latter for taking up valuable gaming time with "shopping." And the latter group are going to feel like they're being forced to do things they have no interest in doing (killing evil dudes for [I]phat lewt[/I]). Much wisdom there. [/QUOTE]
