How does that sound to you? That sounds fantastic I really like the idea Sounds interesting — I'm willing to try it I'd prefer more control over exactly how my character develops I strongly prefer creating a predetermined character conceptPlay Style & Campaign PreferencesEvery player enjoys different parts of tabletop RPGs. This section helps me understand what you enjoy most so we can build a group with reasonably compatible expectations. Which parts of a tabletop RPG do you enjoy most? Roleplaying and character interaction Exploration and discovering new places Mysteries and investigation Combat Tactical combat Space combat Trading and making money Ship ownership and management Politics and diplomacy Character development Discovering lore and secrets Problem solving Survival and resource management Planning and strategy Humor and lighthearted momentsOf the options above, which three are most important to you?Roleplaying and character interactionExploration and discovering new placesMysteries and investigationCombatTactical combatSpace combatTrading and making moneyShip ownership and managementPolitics and diplomacyCharacter developmentDiscovering lore and secretsProblem solvingSurvival and resource managementPlanning and strategyHumor and lighthearted momentsHow do you feel about combat being dangerous enough that avoiding, negotiating, or retreating may sometimes be the best option? I love that I'm completely comfortable with it I'm fine with it, although I still enjoy fighting I'd prefer most encounters to be winnable through combat I strongly prefer games where combat is the expected solutionHow much freedom do you prefer when deciding what the group does next? A lot — I enjoy deciding our own goals and direction A good balance between player choice and GM-provided adventures I prefer having clear objectives but freedom in how we accomplish them I prefer the GM to provide a fairly clear path forward I strongly prefer structured, linear adventuresWhat general tone do you enjoy most? Mostly serious and immersive Serious overall with plenty of humor A balanced mix of serious and lighthearted Mostly lighthearted with serious moments Very casual and comedicTable Behavior & Player CompatibilityA good campaign depends on more than knowing the rules or playing a great character. Everyone at the table contributes to whether the group has fun. These questions are about communication, cooperation, and how you approach playing with other people. There aren't necessarily perfect answers — please choose what most closely reflects how you normally play.A rules question comes up during play and the GM makes a ruling you disagree with. What would you normally do? Briefly mention my interpretation, then accept the GM's ruling and keep playing Accept the ruling and discuss it after the session if it still matters Stop and look up the rule before continuing Debate the ruling until everyone agrees I usually don't worry much about rules disagreements It depends on the situationYour character has a strong personal reason to do something that could seriously disrupt the rest of the crew's plans. What would you most likely do? Find a way to pursue it without disrupting the group Talk with the other players and GM before acting Adjust my character's motivations so the group can stay together Do what my character would realistically do and let the consequences happen It depends on the situationWhat do you think makes someone a good person to have at an RPG table?Final QuestionsWhat are you hoping to get out of this campaign?Tell us a little about yourself.Submit Form
