What a pretentious and overbearing title. Role-playing is a practice in futility, I think. My never ending search for stories that see an ultimate end is constantly met with pitfalls and roadblocks. Most role-plays die out before even reaching a single significant plot point, and those that don't, typically slow down immensely and burn out into passionless embers. Despite that however, there are plenty of people who just live in the moment. A hedonistic desire to fill out their wildest fantasies, or see their small-scale goals come to fruition. I'm guilty of this too. After all, it's called role-[i]playing,[/i] not Role-[i]cohesive-plot-analysis-and-subsequent-story-fulfillment.[/i] I think the fun of it really does just come from those moments when the pieces align. Most Role-plays are poorly thought out, but in that unstructured chaos, we find times where our characters feel like they're jutting from the words and grabbing at our hearts. Moments when our terribly fragmented cooperation links together into a beautiful fractal of radical catharsis. It's hard to describe those moments, but to simplify, they're just like... [i]Whoosh Bam Pow[/i] Y'know? Anyways, on to the point, or rather, question I'm meant to pose. [b]What part of your Role-playing experience fulfills you the most?[/b] Which decisions, or encounters, give you those sick tingly feelings along the back of your wrists? What are you always looking for when you step into your character's shoes? Feel free to elaborate while I constantly fret over the asinine nature of English grammar.
