I started playing D&D 40 years ago since the original Basic Set. I embraced 5E finding players here in Roll20. Now we do not have to depend on having players living near each other. I like to play 50% - 50% combat/role play as I stick to the origins of strategic gameplay. I envision good role-playing as one being truthful to the Character As Written, which means, acting your character according to what you create as his backstory, personality traits, ideals, bonds, flaws and to a lesser degree, alignment. I believe that the ultimate goal of any D&D session is to have fun. Being able to develop a character, the character's story as the adventure progresses, and following the hero or anti-hero path is what storytelling is about.
