[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 6181440, member: 5038"] I am in complete agreement with you. When it comes to LARPing, everyone in my group LARPs except myself. They are always inviting me hoping that I will change my mind. However, I have had no interest in since giving it up for many years. As a player, I walked out of a boss's high level AD&D game, because they were playing it, literally, as fantasy superheroes modeled after cosmic powered characters . I wasn't having fun and didn't want to put a damper on their fun. I joined them for Talisman board games (one of the few board games that I would play- before the company refused to send me a copy of the sheet missing from a Talisman set I purchased 200 miles from where I lived). I also have a very good friend with whom I will not include in a campaign. He gets into character. He does not try to min-max or power game. We see eye to eye with the exception of one key difference- he likes to play evil characters (in supers, it is antiheroes influenced by Punisher, Deadpool and several Image characters and wants the body count to match). He'll start off trying to play a heroic character and, eventually, slip into the above mode. As a GM, that one thing is annoying and not the kind of game that I want to run. We both recognize that, based on this one key issue, our want in a game is irreconcilable and we are better off not gaming with one another. However, away from the table, he is a great guy and like a brother to me. [/QUOTE]
