--Edmiao 09:09, 10 June 2008 (MST) not quite sure what to say about all that, which of our past games have you really been into, dieter?

--Matts 11:47, 10 June 2008 (MST)More specifically, which kinds of games get you enthused?

--Edmiao 12:04, 10 June 2008 (MST) and is there a difference between genre and themes. like you could have politicking in ancient times (current WFRP) or politicking in current times. so like WW if investigational theme, WFRP is politics and scheming theme.

BEN: I think ed's distinction is a good one: is genre more important or "game/GM style?". Along the same lines, what sorts of opportunities have to exist for your character for you to enjoy RPing? You've mentioned before that you like "doing": as in, performing maintenance/construction activities that function more in a support role and are typically longer term. Unfortunately, speaking from experience, its difficult for a GM to extrapolate this kind of experience much beyond a few dice rolls (I've tried, and have often gotten stumped) and its therefore an easy trap to fall into to just let the maintenance/support character roll a couple dice and then pass over them while other people do things with more immediacy. Have you experienced and/or do you have any ideas how, if there aren't particular types of things that draw you in, these sections of time devoted to your characters might be more fulfilling/interesting?
