Gatekeeping Part II: The OG (Original Gatekeeping)

Are people playing FATE playing D&D?

If not, (given the argument above) why not?

IME they're usually a buncha snobs who go on and on about how, because D&D has a lot of rules for combat and not as much rules for roleplaying (because apparently you need rules to roleplay) it's all just a bunch of big dumb fighting with no room for roleplay.

People playing FATE aren't playing D&D for the same reason that people reading Dickens aren't reading Shakespeare.

@ FlyingChihuahua - Wait, I'm role playing during combat too, have I been doing it wrong this whole time?

"I'm reading Shakespeare, but my version doesn't have all the iambic pentameter and metre, and has some car chases added."

"That doesn't sound like Shakespea..."

"STOP GATEKEEPING MY READING!!"
