[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 3440874, member: 957"] D&D doesn't focus on day after day of Frodo trudging along and "making Will saves" to endure the lure of the Ring. It focuses on the coolness of when Bilbo found the ring and when Frodo/Gandalf found out what the ring was. And of course the big climatic fights happen a lot more often. D&D is built to get back to the gratifying moments of glory as frequently as possible. Save the day. Every day. Get the awesome new gadget. People like that. Edit Just to clarify: I'm not saying at all the D&D is limited to this. I'm just saying that game is optimized to highlight this type of event as frequently as possible. I also think, perhaps wrongly, that this is a case where ENWorld poorly represents the bulk of gamers out there that are keeping the game profitable. I'd guess that the avergae ENWorlder has a bit more story and interaction in their games than the average D&D player. And D&D is optimized for the average D&Der. Which is why we have house rules and alternate systems. It is all good. [/QUOTE]
