Let me preface this with me saying that I am not criticizing anyone's RP preferences, and I am -well- aware that plenty of people do not primarily look for action or adventure in their RP; at least not in terms of the media genre definition of action/adventure. I also ask this question as a person who enjoys -many- forms/genres of RP.
Now, I will elaborate on what I mean. I am curious as to how much action and/or adventure (the genre definitions) everyone gets in their RP. AND, do you personally feel you get enough?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me, I have to admit that I don't feel I get enough. I find it hard to come by, and that can be frustrating for someone like me who really considers it a major desire in RP.
For example, if I were to compare RP to a meal, action and adventure would be my main entrees. Other forms of RP like drama, romance, comedy, slice-of-life and what ever kinds you can think of would be the sides. It would not be a meal without the needed sides, but they are not the main course I would choose.
The meal example still does not do RP proper justice, I know. For instance, a single RP scene can include action, drama and comedy. No one instance of RP is limited to one aspect, form or genre. But, I find the action and adventure aspects lacking for me.
I can't really justify my preferences. I like what I like. RP is my escape, and it is my hobby. There is nothing I can think to say that would make someone with different preferences understand, nor would I want to change the preferences of others. I am more curious as to what everyone else seems to get and prefer.
