Rules are mainly limited to areas that must be simulated (i.e. magic), while social and physical skills are totally based on the players abilities. This has been a hotly discussed issue here, but most players I know are pretty comfortable with this style. I've encountered a few elitist idiots in both in LARP and table-top gaming, but a large potion (half?) play both, and thus have little animosity <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Ziggy</blockquote>
