[QUOTE="Arrowhawk, post: 5652000, member: 6679551"] Greenfield, based on your quotes in the above post, I believe you have some reading comprehension issues. I don't mean this to be rude or snarky, but just an observation. Your choice of quotes to make a point fails to consider [I]what[/I] was being responded to. For like the umpteenth time, you started and insisted on continuing this tangential debate on the importance of a "persona" to D&D versus a "class." Such a discussion has nothing to dow with [I]why[/I] D&D is called roleplaying. You have repeatedly taking my refutation of your assertion as to the [I]nature [/I]of D&D as responses to the question of "why" and then insisted that I'm changing my position. Your own definition is incoherent in that you claim anything that is a "railroad" isn't roleplaying. Well guess what...a [I]play [/I]is a railroad. Actors in a play aren't giving any decisions to make are they? They simply act out one of the characters whose actions are dictated to them. By your own words, this is a "railroad" and isn't roleplaying. Guess what, being a character in a [I]play [/I]is roleplaying...it's just not a [I]game[/I]. It's been stated clearly, several times and at every time you've failed to either read it or comprehend it. You want it again, go read post #71 and then #85. If you still think we are saying the same thing, then it's because you've modified your position or you weren't clear on your position to begin with. At this point I'm done with the thread as I'm not adding anything new just repeating myself over and over. If you wan't to continue off-line, feel free. [/QUOTE]
