Just thought i'd apologize in advance.I am biased.... Admittedly. I believe, without any form for empirical evidence to sustain my belief, that european gaming groups focus more on the roleplaying aspects of rpg's than american groups tend to do. I also think, based on my own experience with rpg's, that roleplaying, vs. rollplaying, tend to be very much more an intellectual experience/excersize... Okay, the last bit was possible only meant to incite a flamewar, so scratch that part. i recognize that roll/roleplaying are different ways to see the game, and that one method is not necesarily (dangit my spelling/grammar/typing etc. is shod to heck.. dang carlsberg) better than another.My argumentation could possibly be closer to believable, had i not been referring to carlsberg every second sentence...But why and how does any one gaming group divide their attention to the two extremes of gaming (roll/role). Why is one aspect of RPG's more important than another? and is there a continental difference in preference? SRD D20 seems to push the rollplaying aspects at the cost of roleplaying... Unless heavily modified or used with non-wotc adventures? Or am i mistaken?....patient readers might have deduced from the ramblings above, that i divide rpg gaming groups into to major groups: european and american. I have absolutely no idea as to wether asian or australian groups (or others? Martians?) exist. So be kind enough enlighten me on this as well... are you better represented than i thought eg. (or ie.? bugger...) are rpg's sold in any relevant numbers outside europe/USA?....And as my exit, i'll cite the big, red, divinely challenged leadcharacter of Hellboy: "Gonna be sore in the morning."</blockquote>
