Actually, I'm a Storyteller / Cinematographer. It's not only about cool motivations / plots / etc., it's also about cool locations, action sequences -- in a word, cool images.

I strongly encourage PCs to do "cinematic" stuff.

Definitely the 'Buttkicker' DM type. Me and my players like to have a good fight. When there's a intriguing story between fights it's even better but we don't like role-playing and puzzle solving all day. Kicking butt is most of the fun for us. :D Naturaly most of our characters are combat optimized and those that are not are seen as a liability and inefficient.

But don't think that we like stoopid dungeon crawls, there's gotta be some story to keep people's attention. WotC's adventures are really bad in comparison to OD&D and 1e modules.

Somewhere between a storyteller, method actor and tactician... I voted storyteller, but I try to let the party do what they want rather than guiding a story.

BS5 - yeah, angcuru, you kill the demon. I remember this one time.....(20 minutes later)...what happened? Oh yeah.

Repeat process.

You think you can do better? Let's wait until your FR campaign starts off. The "F" won't stand for "Forgotten" before the end, I guarantee.

And you forgot the ubiquitous comments about Becca. Just wait 1.5 years.:D :D :D

I won't go into the many OOG rants that you do, thats for sure.
