At any rate, like you said, it's not a hack-n-slash game. It's very much about getting into character and playing to your characters motivations and back-story. From the role-playing groups I have been with, that is an alien concept. Almost exclusively, RPG groups I have played with seemed to be REALLY SLOW versions of WoW where you run around killing everything and trying to become capable of killing Gods. Actually getting into character, talking to the people, being a part of the land, these things are lost on most PnP gamers. I really feel limited in most of these groups. If only D&D played less like M:tG...
O, just in case you haven't seen it, you can find Dorkness Rising on youtube. It's a indie movie about a groups of RPers who suddenly find their DMs ex-girlfriend, an RPG virgin, dropped into their group, destroying their hack-n-slash frag fest. Best part: She pwns them the whole time.
