[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 2645506, member: 128"] LOL. Who are you to define what's D&D and what's not? The original creator of the game tried to do that and not too many people believed even him. Everyone plays the game slightly differently. Where would you draw the line and say "This is D&D but this isn't?" The writers of the current incarnation of the game may have designed it with a particular play style in mind, but people will use the rules and setting to play the way they want to play. I don't know anyone (besides you) who would call a political, non-combat games set in the Forgotten Realms using 3.5E rules (for example) not D&D. Your point is well taken, that there are better games for other styles of play than D&D. But you're not going to persuade anyone by telling them that they're not playing D&D when they very well know that they are. [/QUOTE]
