[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7611437, member: 6669384"] This is a system independent question, so we don't have to worry about offending each other, at least not that way. I stopped by a local game shop and ran into an old friend, and as gaming friends do we began swapping gamin stories. What we both ended up agreeing on is that different players have different styles, different motivations. For example, we both knew people who seemed to have something to prove at the table. Some are "achievement oriented", while others are exploring, testing different builds to see what works. Some are story driven, and taking that a step further some come more for the social aspects than for the game play. To be clear, I'm not asking why you're at the gaming table. I'm asking what you get out of the game. What's your style, what's your motivation, what is it about the games that you enjoy the most? To get the ball rolling, I enjoy the escape. I enjoy immersing myself in the story, so in that I'm "story driven". And yes, I often overdue the back stories and side chatter. (I really need to work on that...:() So what moves you? [/QUOTE]
