> Roleplaying Style:  A Questionnaire

> Adventure content: 
>    -  Intrigue
>    -  Interaction with NPCs
>    -  Interaction with other PCs
>    -  Discovery (exploration, experimentation, and related activities)

.... although, *every now and then*, for a *very short* period of time, 
kill-em-and-nab-the-treasure is kinda fun.  Sheesh, how old am I?

> Difficulty level: 

I actually like it to vary fairly often from easy to hard.  A major 
setback is okay every now and then if it makes the payoff sweeter later 
on.  Curves, sliders, and fast balls;  keep it in the strike zone 
please.  Beanballs may start fights. :)

> Campaign themes: Is there any subject which you do _not_ wish treated in this 
> PBEM? (Some people are sensitive to certain portrayals of the Church, for 
> example.)

Just leave the water buffalo out of it, Lydia, I'll be fine.

> Game mechanics:
>    - Average: Mechanics are used strictly; dice are used by the StoryGuide.

Tried diceless, didn't care for it that much.  No flamewars, please;  
it's not a judgement or an opinion, just a personal preference.  Wait, I 
guess it is an opinion after all.  Oh well.  Bugger.

> Historical detail: 
>    - Accurate: History and details are reasonably researched and used.
>    - Detailed: History and details are carefully researched and adhered to.

Accurate most of the time.  Detailed if it's of central importance to the 
plot or motivations of the PCs/NPCs.

>    - Anal: Every little thing is described in minute detail, and important.

Now Lydia ... you be nice.  No personal slights disguised as questionaire 
entries. >;)

> Thanks. A note on your personal preferred style of roleplaying, particularly
> PBEM roleplaying, would be appreciated, as well.

Character over Munchkinism.
Heroism and Tragic Nobility as needed.
Violence when necessary.
High Fantasy is a Thing of Beauty;  but I like to Feel the Grit Under My 
	Fingernails from Time to Time.
