[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 1332273, member: 10948"] Well, I like gaming, and I like the guys I game with (more like tolerate, except for the artsy one who's a real good guy), but I don't really like gaming with them. Sure, we have the occasional bit of role-play, once we get past the long series of un-linked combats which we only get to when the DM decides to stop ranting about things that NO-ONE cares about and insulting everyone (as he is prone to do), so in the end, for an average game night, 15-20% of the time is spent actually gaming. Out of that small percentile, (still going by the larger percentage), 10-13% is spent hacking through monsters and deciding who gets what piece of treasure, and the remaining 5-7% is the character-character interaction, less than half of which could be termed 'role-playing', and mediocre at that. And when one takes into account that the average game night is 4 1/2 hours long at best for me, as we get together around 6 p.m. and I have to be heading home by 10:30 p.m., that's not a whole lot of gaming. I much prefer PBP. If anyone has a game open or soon to open, I'm available. :cool: [/QUOTE]
