[QUOTE="Consonant Dude, post: 5811074, member: 6688791"] Jon, I'm not trying to raise the tone but... seriously... "the right to dream"? "Step on Up?" Do you really not understand how these labels sound ridiculous and obfuscate a normal conversation? What happened to "I like the fun to roll dice", "I like playing my character and talking with funny voice", "I like a challenge", "I like the sweeping story arcs" and a multitude of other facets inherent to the DnD experience? You probably think I reject anything theory-related outright but I don't. I think there were interesting observations back when these discussions originally happened (at the Gaming Outpost). But clearly, the codification into an actual theory failed. It doesn't mean I don't think anything interesting came out of it. I just think surveys setup like that are totally unhelpful. Have an actual forthright survey allowing multiple answers. You'll see a better representation of what people get out of DnD, which is all three things... and a LOT MORE ;) [/QUOTE]
