Hey Roleplayers! Halp a Mur out?
For Game Design, I'm doing some research about using roleplaying as (almost a subculture, and) a basis for gaming experiences, so I'd like some of your opinions, because so far it's just been me blabbing about everything, and I want to know how some other players feel. Feel free to answer any or all of the questions I've come up with, whatever.
SERIOUSLY you don't need to answer all of these just TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE STUFF.
What are you looking for when you seek out games for RP? Are you there for laughs, plot, angst, or something else? Basically, what draws you to a game? On that note, what drives you AWAY from a bad game?
Do you prefer fandom characters to original characters, or vice-versa? Why?
Is there any sort of RP you consider to be superior/inferior/just plain weird? (Do you love LARP, but think IM rp is stupid, or ADORE prose, and not see the point of first-person style, etc?)
What makes a great or respectable player good? Why are some players more popular than others, in your opinion?
Where do you place the In-character/Out-of-character line? (Interpret this HOWEVER YOU WISH.)
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE TO ANYBODY WHO ANSWERS ME~<3 OH, and anon is enabled, in case you feel like being ranty, but don't want anyone to see your name. I REALLY WON'T MIND. LIKE, AT ALL. I just want opinions.
(And now I'm off to take a nap! Maybe I'll be on later tonight!)
