I have noticed in several LFG forums that people are asking for Character concepts, this puzzles me. The LFG is feeling more like a job application website with interviews set up to feel out potential applicants. I can understand this... its weird for a game but I understand. What I do not understand is the looking for players with certain character concepts. This seems like a company looking for a person to hire but won't tell what job it is for...."You want to work as a maintenance worker. Sorry we have 20 already. Go look somewhere else" We as players can play a whole wide range of classes and such so why are these postings hoping for a person to coincidentally have the concept the GM is looking for? What happens when that character dies do you boot the person out of the group? Are campaigns not looking for PEOPLE to fit the group anymore instead of hero concepts? Now I can play several types and I usually bend my concepts to fit a group much like making a character to fit the "muscle/mechanic" like Mr T in the A-team OR the supporting fighter like Zoe in Firefly. I'm stuck in thinking a group of people make a campaign together. Is anyone able to help me understand the reason behind this???
