Not even a little. That is not pure sim at all. Because, now, you're not simulating anything, you're actually doing it. Lacking any...

Like I said earlier, we're not really having a conversation in this thread most of the time because there is such a lack of common...

A few auxiliary rules and and systems leaned into simulation to some degree. They kind of stood out in that regard for pretty much the...

It's nothing to do with whether or not I like it. Sequentiality is not an abstraction of simultaneity. It's an alternative to it...

Oh please. TSR-era D&D was about as far from simulation as you could get. It was pure wargame. Good grief, your character can't even...

That's an interesting point. I remember encountering a lot of them in early D&D, both to fight and as light sources, but you don't seem...

This is the part that has always baffled me about the whole "I play D&D as sim" crowd. Why would you insist on playing a system that is...

But notice what that requires: "6. If your abstractions do not match your fictional world, de-abstract until they do." That's...pretty...
