Is role-playing worth it? :smalleek:

[goto124]

It can be interesting, but not with people who have barely started roleplay. The resulting RP will be real boring, and the players will think of all RP as 'boring'.

If you introduced someone to tabletop games for the first time ever, do you make that person play CoC, to have the character die in 10 minutes?

"I demand the lich releases the prisoners." "How so? Do you shout it at him from the doorway, walk in and threaten him or just open negotiations with an arrow through the sacrificial dagger?"

This reminds me: the GM can make roleplay easier on the players, by providing options for players to choose from. Otherwise they could get stuck trying to come up with something viable.
