[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6308872, member: 2525"] No that was not his point at all (and he even named theater so I am not sure where the confusion is coming from). He said RPGers could learn from acting - not paid acting, just acting. He said being able convey a character with minimal dialogue is considered a virtue in acting, and he's right. He said there's a lot to be learned regarding humbleness and deference in acting, and he's right in that as well. For me personally as long as over the course of a campaign everyone feels roughly like they got enough spotlight, it's OK (or even good) if not everyone gets equal spotlight every session. Not everyone needs to be equally good at combat, or at exploration, or at social encounters. It's a good thing if the fighter shines during combat, if the rogue shines during exploration, and if the bard shines during social encounters. And if you feel everyone needs to shine equally in all these things all the time, then the advice he gave about acting is probably wise advice. [/QUOTE]
