What do you get out of RPGs?

[Hovannes]

Here is my list.

1. Fun
2. Socialize with friends
3. Escape from the real world
4. Rolling lots of dice

Stories and a feeling of adventure and contentment.

The rest is what I do and what I have when I do it.

Probably a few things. One is coming up with stories, or rather coming up with something interesting alongside the other people at the table. Another is successfully designing a situation where people can interact with the scenario, either through NPCs or through the environment, and be entertained.

However, I probably get the most out of just socializing and having fun with others. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious; sometimes involved, sometimes just hanging out.
