While we're on the subject, Dark, could I ask a favour/ question of you. Putting it simply. The favour: could I join you in an RP run - I wouldn't be able to take too much time off my schedule, but it sounds fun. And the question, if i do get to play with you, then when and how do I play?

I've played with players like that before, and they're not fun, also they give rpg gamers something of a bad reputation. There's actually a book on podiobooks that had a really interesting premise but was terribly executed. the idea was what happened when rpg player actually became! their characters in the game world by some sort of magic. The problem? the author planely knew nothing about how rpgs were played, or the people who played them. When he represented the game, it was basically the gm telling the entire story and the characters just listening, and making dice rolls. Half of the characters were evil and obsesssed with power and killing each other, ----- and the entire group which was all male all seemed equally obsessed about, ----- mmmm, things not concerned with rp! Indeed, the first thing most of them did when getting into the rp world was find a bunch of prostitues. even his one female character he represents as this ridiculously naive girl who just goes on about love all the time, and he even has the gm say "having a girl in the group means I can do some less violent plots" ----- interesting as half of my rp group is female, and indeed my russian friend is probably more blood thirsty than I am! So, the amount of wrong ideas people have about rp is a real shame, and the sterriotypes of people who do it, and the fact that there ar! players who just want to sit around and roll dice and don't actually do any real roll playing at all isn't good from any angle.
