Role playing has also been long used to describe pretend play by children consciously taking on a role such as when they play house or cops and robbers. I think it highly dubious to assume the developers of D&D did not have that version of role playing in mind once they made the leap to playing individual characters. The pretend aspect is certainly present in AD&D. But I don't have any earlier rulebooks handy to check earlier publications.</p></blockquote><p></p>
