Players that hate RP

Classic situation.

What this player wants, and what the rest of the group (and you) want are two different things. Imagine if you had written it from his perspective:

>be me
>really love dungeon exploration, killing dangerous monsters, generally being heroic, etc.
>rest of group just wants to sit around roleplaying how drunk they get at the tavern in the starting village for 45 minutes at a time

>later, GM asks us if we're having fun
>THOSE players: "Yeah, but can we stop focusing so much on combat and do more slice-of-life stuff?"

Everyone would tell the player to just leave the group because they're obviously not a good fit for him.

This.

I've had this happen to myself before. Its an awful thing to feel that you're the odd one out, but most of the time its better to quit than try to hope for the best.

>rolling to see if we get drunk

Yeah, 45 minutes of that is a bit excessive.

He could've gone outside. Or is this one of those brutal campaigns where grues attack the moment you split the party?

>lol that guy amirite

Protip: You're not as funny as you think you are, OP.

I feel the need to point out the distinction here between roleplaying and acting. When the characters are sitting around, getting drunk, or doing whatever else that's acting in-character but that's not quite the same as roleplaying. Roleplaying requires you to make decisions as your character would make them, of course in order for this to have meaning the choices need to have consequences. So roleplaying is less about how long a group spends sitting around narrating what their character does in their downtime and more about how they respond when the GM offers them a tough choice about how to proceed.

>>Have a part where group eats, drinks, and interacts with NPCs for 30-45 minutes
>The game has become an excuse, largely, for people to hang out and flirt and smoke/drink or whatever the fuck

You're in the wrong here OP. You've got a player who wants to play, and a group that wants to sit around and shoot the shit behind a system of masks and fantasy.

Why

What a load of utter crock. This image is nothing but a very overelaborate way of saying "NORMIES GET OUT REEEEEEEE".

>Yeesh, is it really that dull for some people to RP mostly inconsequential things?
Yes OP, it really is.

Here's the thing about eating, drinking, and talking to people: you can do it in real life with real people and real food. It is a stupid waste of time to "roleplay" something when you could do the exact same thing in person.

You really are a hopeless faggot, OP.

These are definitions you have made up yourself. Go away.
