DnD Campaign

[AniX]

What is going to be the Roleplay:Rollplay ratio? As in, do you desire/disfavor people being in character unless they need to roll something or get a ruling from the DM as opposed to people only roleplaying when directly interacting with NPCS/other characters?

Granted, this is heavily reliant on the other players as well, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

He might be a Paladin of a Pathfinder God who is duty-bound to defend it wherever he sees heretics.

I've never had this problem. Do you find you have a harder time getting a workable conversation flow down on the internet as opposed to real life?

[AniX]

Yes, mostly because there's no physical cues. Like, if it were real life, I'd just hold up my hand and point at the first person, and ask him what he wanted to do, resolve it, and go around the circle. We have to rely entirely on verbal cues, and it's different. We managed to get control of the situation after a little, but it's gonna need work.

Highly interesting. I've never had this problem in any of games, online or in-person. Do you people run into a similar problem when you are just shooting the shit with your friends in conversation?

Maybe my group, all native New Yorkers, are just so used to people talking over one another as a method of conversation we just filter out the weirdness.

Nobody thought to just cite "Insight"? I mean, motives is pretty much all Insight does. Nobody would ever take it if you could get the same and more for Perception.

There is something to be said about doing the thematically right thing in a game even if you don't know if it will be successful or not. You know, like real life.
