File of role playing examples

[bakdal]

I have tried to conclude a bit on this interesting thread "Does anybody role play?":

Some (not many, apparantly) try to actively roleplaying the game.

A definition could be: "Roleplaying is for an individual player to introduce non-game rules to a campaign, (that affects the goals of the campaign, and the ongoing decision making)"

The definition could end before the...ehhmm...(), whatever it is called

There seems to be two main types of roleplaying, and according to the definition, they differ in the origin of the non-game rules:

1) Strategic roleplaying
You set certain goals and limitations for yourself, before the game starts.

2) Opportunistic roleplaying
You take events within the game as litterally actions. For instanse, a faction denying a marriage proposal can offend you, a paranoid king (v&v's)makes you place at least one assasin in every province etc.

If there's any interest for it, you can mail me expamples of strategic and opportunistic rules, and I will gather the expamples in a file we can place for download. Other distinctions than the above mentioned will be recieved too.

I'll guess I'd better officially cancel this one. Zero replies so far, both here and on email, and I assume the interest is far from enough.

All the best,
