It does depend on the game (somewhat) but what I am really looking for is a good time spent with friends (or strangers) and something that lets me use my imagination.

But when I'm playing RPGs, 'achievement' covers the other two. I enjoy the achievement of putting together (and keeping together) a good, immersive campaign that my players engage with and contribute to ('co-operation'). I suppose that is looking at immersion and co-operation from a GM's point of view.

It's occurred to me before there must be some sliding scale for this very thing, but I'd never tried to think it out fully or picture it.<br /><br />I definitely base myself in immersion, leaning toward achievement and some cooperation. While I'm certainly good at tactics and strategy, competition has never been a pull in anything for me. My Magic decks are full of cards I think are cool or fun (synergies be damned), and while in my martial arts practice sparring is fun, tournaments make everything dull.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825535954173654348noreply@blogger.com
