Those systems make the given event or rule more or less realistic, so yes realism is involved.No it's not.  "Playing to find out what's in the DM's notes." or "Playing Mother May I." are derogatory statements about a methods of play  other than your own.  Realism is not such a derogatory statement.  It makes no value judgement about someone else's playstyle.  I simply enjoy more realism in my game that D&D has at its baseline.  If you don't, I'm truly happy for you and I hope you have great games.</blockquote>
