Do you prefer to play personality-less statblocks that go and dungeon delve for loot and xp or expressive theater kid drama characters who get involved in grand plots within the world and their own personal stories?

>>96686712If I wanted the former, I'd just play a video game.
>>96686712False dichotomy. There's a continuum between those extremes.
>96686712I prefer to play characters that live in a fantastical world while abstracting and handwaving things that have nothing to do with gameplay, actually.
>>96686712I like to have fully realized characters who will make their own goals in the world without stepping on the shoes of the GMs plot.
>>96686712I prefer to play slightly stylized or somewhat interesting characters who go dungeon delving for GOLD AS XP who then do quests in the overworld too.
>>96686712Never got to play the former so the grass looks pretty green, can't lie.
>>96686712As a powergamer and former theater kid, if you can't play an efficient and effective statblock with a personality and backstory, find a new hobby.
>>96686712There is a Golden Mean. Neither one of those come close. If I had to pick I'd pick the silent one though, at least he's not wasting my time with melodramatic bullshit.
>>96690549This. The forced dichotomy is actually the most anti-hobby thing imaginable, and OP should be permab& for his ultimately dismissive, reductive idea of what the hobby entails.
>>96686712If anything it'd be more like a statblock that develops a personality through their involvement in the game world.

>>96686712If I had no expectation that I was going to be able to roleplay or enjoy an interesting story to which I could contribute, I would just play a video game.
>>96686712The beautiful in-between that Gary and Dave intended us to play all the way back in the 1970s.
Im a stat block with some personality, though most my personality is very abrasive so not many in my party ever want to talk to me apart from one guy who actually is able to work with me. Because we are similar where we build combat characters but his characters are liked alot more because they arent abrasive like mine.
>>96686712It's a spectrum, not too dissimilar to the one you're on
>>96686712Given the choice between the two, I'd go theater kid drama I guess. I can and have played stat sticks marching through labyrinthine halls killing every orc in their path before, and it was fun, but definitely not a campaign to overdose on.
