[QUOTE="Ichneumon, post: 6258091, member: 98772"] "Empathy? We don't need no stinkin' empathy!" D&D's a game that delivers fun via multiple avenues. There's actually playing the game, which has the joy of the unexpected, interactions with other players and the DM, plus the exploration and conquering of the game world.
