Consolidated Discussion of RPG Mechanics

[Jesper]

I still think that's a largely poor way of looking at the situation. If role-playing is something you do as a chore, what is the point? I guess you could follow that to the conclusion that if you find role-playing a chore than what are you doing here anyways, but isn't what this thread is for? How to make this place more fun to role-play in?


I wish I weren't the one saying these things. Let it be known I'm aware of the hypocrisy of me talking about role-playing.

Any change we make would probably help, but when the luster of the changes die down, and it comes down to "do I want to write or not," people are going to have to bunker down and do it, otherwise we'll end up right back here in another few months or so.

In other words, I don't think this way of thinking is harmful at all. It's just the way things go.

EDIT: I say this alongside my full agreement with the changes being made, whatever they ultimately may be.
