What kind of in game events do you prefer?

1. What kind of in game events do you prefer?

   #1

   I have conducted a small investigation of what my Coldforged gamers prefer, but thought I could extend this to everyone (also those CF players who have yet to answer it). Open for all, come cast your vote.
   
   So: What kind of in game events do you prefer?
   List them from best to worst. :)
   
   1. Dialogue & Plot investigation
   2. Combat
   3. Magic Rituals (divinations, summoning, enchantment, construct creation, cursing, and so on)
   4.Stealth, stealing and burglary
   5.Problem Solving & Puzzles
   6. Travel and landscape (Cinematic detailing of landscapes, both indoors and outdoors, travel through the lands and dungeons & Random events)
   7.Camp & Tavern life. Trivial fun at inns and in the wilderness
   8. Hunting and stalking prey
   9. Exercising different crafts (Forging normal / magic swords, gathering herbs & making herbal potions, buying minerals & creating alchemical potions, crafting bows, making arrows, inscribing runes on scrolls and stone tablets, etc...)
   
   FYI: This is not my preferred sequence. I will remain silent about that a bit longer

   If puzzle solving was defined more towards mystery/plot solving it would rank higher. Puzzles means single serving challenges to me.

   I really enjoy the behind-the-scenes stuff; this is part of the reason why I enjoy being a Game Master & designer. As a player, I enjoy forming and enacting a plan.

   Yeah. The categories were made on the spot as I was chatting with Roack, Manfred and Chaosmark. I liked the idea, but kept the rough genres as 3 had already answered using those genres. Right now mystery and plot solving kinda sorts under dialogue / plot.

   To make it an even 10 for me, I added Horror/Tension to it, hope you don't mind :P. I love fear and the unknown. Things which arent understood by anybody, and mysteries which don't get revealed in character.
   
   Equal 1st. Magic Rituals\\Horror/Tension
   3. Puzzle solving
   4. Exercising crafts
   5. Travel and Landscape
   6. Dialogue and Plot
   7. Hunting
   8. Combat
   9. Camp/Tavern Life
   10. Stealth and Burglary

   Actually, SE has it right on the head there. I also like the suspence and unknown aspects of the world. It gives it flavor.

    Not to seem like a bandwagoner, but I think horror/tension would also be #1 or #2 for me, as well.

    Mainly, to me, Its all about the plot and game expieriance, or how the overall play felt.

    1.Tension/Suspense
    2. Stealth and everything stealth related
    3. Combat
    4. Dialogue and Plot investigation.
    5. Puzzle Solving
    6.Camp and Tavern Life
    7.Everything else.
    
    Basically, I thrive on high tension, high danger scenarios where you never really are sure what will happen next. The City Underground Society is obviously ideal for such a thing. In such a scenario, I get to plot and scheme and figure out the dozens of ways to ensure that I always have a back door to any situation.
    
    Obviously however, all catagories are subject to change based on DM skill in a particular area.
