It only gets to be a problem for an individual when the design of the rules heavily leans toward one reason over others, if that reason isn't the reason that individual plays.I don't think a tactical thinker would be happy with Rock Paper Scissors as a resolution or balancing system.I don't believe a narrative thinker would be happy with constant character death.Etc.I think D&D has a certain responsibility to tow the middle line pretty well, since it is, for most gamers, the only rpg, but various editions have favored one side or the other of that equation over the years.Some folks like tactical combat, and that's cool, as long as I also get to like my evocative storytelling, and we can play the same game at the same table and both get at least some of what we want.</blockquote>
