[QUOTE="drakhe, post: 1586731, member: 4930"] That would be the extreme the other way arround (where roleplaying gets in the way of the game) but I see your point. Let me just add this: your absolutely right that one player hogging the spotlight is no good either, but there's one other aspect I've come accross. Picture this: new group, 5 players of which two are a) experienced players who b) are both very accomplished at playing in character. The campaign begins and after the second or third session it becomes apparent that only the 2 experienced players take the mike as it were. Point I want to make: beginning players often let themselves be intimidated by a more accomplished fellow PC. I guess it takes some time and probably the appropriate amount of determination to start playing with such players. Also, don't be afraid to interupt "IN CHARACTER". I mean, in real life people will interupt each other during discussions, the same goes for roleplaying, it's not a game of take turns, get into it! [/QUOTE]
