So now I'm curious: in short form, what would your ideal D&D look like? What would its style be? How would it play at the table?

@GobHag is referring to me, I think, and is looking to promote a countering view to my own. Seems to me that's what a discussion forum...

One of these days if we're ever in the same town you and I should sit down for a beer or three. That could be one fun chat! :)
