This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[fapfapfap] What is most important to you in a game?

The most important would be setting and system. Our group has been the same for about 20 years (otherwise it would've been the group first), so what counts with us (or, to be specific, me, since everybody else is too lazy to GM, and they seem to be happy to play whatever happens to suit my fancy at any given moment) is the rules, and how well they support the flavour of the setting. It also greatly affects my inspiration.

IMO roleplaying is first and foremost a social experience so group would rank first (if I'm playing with one or more douchebags, even if they give good roleplay, the rest doesn't really matter anymore and the gamesession will suck: I just wonna have some fun!). Next are GM, scenario, setting and system (in that order).
Oh, and some soda and snacks of course and I'm ready to go!

Like others have said, the group comes first.  With all of us grown ups with our own families, our once a month gaming session is usually the only time we actually see each other face to face, so we spend a lot of time just catching up as well as gaming.

Then comes the setting and system.  Does it allow me to play the type of character I want to play?  Does it get my interest?
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.
