Role-Playing Games / Re: Geek Girl's Guide to Character Development
« on: June 12, 2006, 02:17:20 PM »
  I'm new here. However i have gamed some 5 years now and game mastered 3 to 4 years of those five. Honestly I think that being in character, to the extent that you go out of your way to express the characters feelings and opinions is a sign of a good role player.  The reason i say this is some people seem to fear entering the characters mind set too much, and distance themselves by doing things like "my character influences you" rather then having an exchange of words with the other player. I prefer when my players have social interactions with me in game, I never enjoyed simply rolling dice to have an outcome.
  Now the other side of this is taking it to the extreme. I also larp and have seen some pretty serious stuff, however i think any player in their right mind can draw the line between the characters and themselves. Lastly if a player can take a situation seriously in character and still step back and admit that it is fun then Id say that its not that players weakness of being too involved just that player being more dedicated to the role-playing experience then the rest of the group in question. To end, it doesn't seem like its a problem of being too involved it sounds like your just an excellent player whose playing with other players who aren't quite up to your speed.
