Again, ANY. Any information. Not all, not every, but, at the very least, ANY information. And no, it is not hard to see. There are...

Sigh. Again, for the umpteenth time. A game becomes simulative when it provides ANY actual information about how a result was...

I would cut the quote here, as this is the argument I think is strong in the post (the rest seem to be rehashing things already picked...

I'm prepared to accept that, in most D&D play, there are broad genre conventions and table understandings that rule out the "pixies...

It's also sometimes argued that D&D is a genre in itself, which could mean it is simulating itself. Where I balk however is at...
