[QUOTE="tx7321, post: 3319374, member: 43146"] I think you miss-understand me. When I talk about immersion and roleplay, I'm not talking about thespian actors goofing off at the table in some horrific fake Scottish accent. I'm talking about those involved using their imaginations, and feeling like your actually the character (seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing what they do as if you were really there). Gygax does, infact, play that way (and yes, I have read many of his threads). And thats how AD&D is supposed to be played. The only difference I can see, is that Gygax and his friends played controlling multiple PCs and henchmen, while the way we played around here was you only controlled your own PC. But in either case (controlling multiple or only 1PC ) immersion and roleplay are both paramount to the game (using the definitions I gave above). Anyhow, I was talking about reading the rule books not his personal way of playing, those are 2 different things, right? [/QUOTE]
