I was really surprised to hear my question to Stephen Reid read in the podcast. Embarrassing, yet cool.
I think you guys raised some really good points, especially on the definition of roleplaying and how game designers may think of the word differently. Campaign roleplayers are very different creatures from those who think more in terms of a player-written narrative.
Anyways, keep up the great podcast!

On your discussion on the Flashpoint RP. Myself and a bunch of friends did the lower level Flashpoint Republic side and we RPed through the entire thing, which it was actually very very fun and we used it as a way for our characters to meet ICly so we could create our current guild.

@Gidean: Yeah - I’ve used the Esseles as an excellent *IC* scene to introduce two characters, since it’s very easy to say that the two of you happened to be on the same ship traveling to Courscant. Usually I have to ignore the bits of the Bioware story that don’t fit - but in this case, we were able to use everything. It was a lot of fun and a great time doing it and we now have an established ‘first contact’ between our characters that we have begun to build the rest of our IC relationship on.
