[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 3768335, member: 29398"] Putting my own viewpoint in words better than I could. Nicely done. :)I suppose I could say my vision for D+D doesn't include those who are only happy when everything has codified borders like chess and you always know what you (and your opponent) can do...but that would be pointless; the game can include everyone provided enough house rules are written. :) I *do*, however, like the creative anything-goes playstyle you seem to so detest, and I have no problem whatsoever (either as DM or player) with an on-the-fly resolution to whatever gets dreamed up. The key word is *creative*...at its heart, this is a game of imagination, and with imagination comes creativity. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
