[QUOTE="Lasher Dragon, post: 2117859, member: 26634"] I'm planning on becoming a community supporter and I want to be sure I advertise my gaming preferences in my "title" when I get to change that. j/k - about the advertising anyway.... or maybe not, that would be kinda funny... :D Seriously though, I see a lot of talk of "wargaming" and other RPG styles, and I was curious as to what category I would fall into were someone to attempt to do so. Also, I notice a huge range of RPG styles from the people on this board. I used to think that my group took things a little too seriously (a good number of us are unabashed rules-lawyers - hell I think one of my buddies nearly has the PH & the DMG memorized LOL) however I have seen things on this board which make me believe perhaps we are actually quite a bit less serious than most, maybe even sillier than a lot. The whole "I don't allow cross-gender roleplaying" thing really made me think that some people take it waaaaaaay more serious than we do. All of us love to play, we've all had characters we've played for years and years. Right now we play every wednesday and every other saturday. All of us would laugh in the face of a DM that made a rule like that. [/QUOTE]
