Hi girlgamers!
I'm currently in two very different D&D games. One has a DM that runs games with almost 100% role-playing. We have games where we barely throw a die. We're putting together an interesting story, but when some of us ran into a random encounter (ah, 3.5), I was almost relieved.
Don't get me wrong, I like roleplaying, its part of the fun. Ianthe is a very interesting character--a sorceror and a nightmare-spinner. I'd like to get into more combat, though the episode with the black pudding was not very pleasant and she almost lost her familiar but anyway.
The other campaign is coming from 4th edition modules. Almost totally hack -n- slash. I'm not sure if that's because the DM isn't used to using modules, but while he's trying to get us to role-play more, a couple of the players aren't into it. I had to go online and print off a list of Shakespearean insults for the bard to use for his vicious mockery.
I've never run a game, but I might consider trying. Tricks? Tips? What kind of games are y'all in and what would you change?
