Six Cultures of Play
I am curious to know the style of play that folks typically play D&D and RPG’s in general.
When I played D&D 3e weekly for roughy 10 years, 2004 - 2014, I was most often the DM and we played mostly a Story Game with slow and deep character development.
This was quite different from the games I played in the late 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s. My earlier games lasted only a few sessions. These were often AD&D and Trad and RAW (traditional and rules as written).
Now, I feel nostalgic and wistful for playing with a group on a weekly basis. But I would like to delve into the OSR style of play. Recently, I have played a few One-Shots using OSE, ICRPG or 5e. However, these games have not become regular games.
On-line gaming has not grabbed me. Mostly, I would need to commit to a regular time, day of the week + time of day + 2+ hours). And that just has not been a priority for me, yet.
What is the style of play that you typically enjoy? How often do you play? Are you playing on-line?
