How do I make sure I'm not cutting into other people's RP time as a player?

+10
−0

As a player, I enjoy the role-playing part of a game more than combat. My style of playing will often include wisecracks, quips, and other "witty" remarks directed at both other players and NPCs.

However, I'm afraid that this can be seen as hogging the stage, so to speak - since I'll respond to what others are saying, including NPCs, this could be seen as trying to take the spotlight.

How can I, as a player, make sure I'm not hogging the stage and am allowing other players to enjoyably interact as well?

I don't play RPGs but what I can say is that something like this (the "taking the spotlight" misrepresentation) happens on other videogames too, hence why this is NOT an answer, but a suggestion.

As for the real advice, try not to act "show-offy", although that would really mean what you think being a show-off is like. It also depends on the other players if what you're doing is what they'd call show-offy.
