[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5333950, member: 18701"] If you're looking for some honest advise rather than just a pat on the back followed by the phrase, "It's ok to hate roleplaying.", then here is my advise based on what I quoted from you: Don't even waste your time. Obviously you know that your friends want to enjoy the roleplaying and story part of the game. If you are telling the honest truth, and you really can't stand that part of the game, then please, whatever you do, don't join that game. You can single-handedly keep that DM or one of those players from coming here to ENworld a few months down the road to complain about some guy in their group ruining the game & being a problem player because he hates when they roleplay or follow a storyline. If you want to play D&D for the reasons that interest you, then try posting a want ad around the different gaming forums asking people if anyone needs a player for a purely hack-n-slash game. Or ask if anyone wants to start a group of purely hack-n-slash players. You might find a group to play with that will provide you with way more fun than you'd have playing in your friends game.
