Message: <blockquote data-quote="El_Gringo" data-source="post: 97375" data-attributes="member: 3114">I've been gaming with the same folks for 7 years now. I think I'm getting sick of them. Everyone seems to have fallen into a "metarole" during our games. One person takes the lead. One person plays a weird character. One person plays a conniving sneak. One person plays the combat monster. Similiarly, the GMs of the group have their own predictable styles (myself included). For instance, during our latest session, I noticed the GM speaking directly to one player when describing scenes, characters, etc. He seemed to completely ignore the rest of the group, assuming that they weren't decision makers.If anything, I'd like for some people in the group to try different things. I'm interested in trying different games, whereas most of the others prefer one or two specific titles and only run/play them. They also don't like playing one-shots, something I'd love to do. I also dislike some of the lack of roleplaying and character background. If I were to run a game that would be directed solely by the actions and whims of the PCs, I'd have a group of players staring at me for 3 hours, waiting for me to railroad them into doing something. I think I'll pull out my hair if I have one more person ask about whether or not a character receives full hit points at 1st level. We've been playing 3rd ed. ever since it came out, as well as D20 Star Wars. You'd think someone could remember that little tidbit of info.Maybe I should look into online gaming. Any recommendations?</blockquote>
