[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5095323, member: 87792"] Um... The argument's going past each other so far as I can tell. On one side there's the people arguing that D&D isn't quite all about all looting and pillaging. Just mostly. On the other side there's the people arguing against the proposition that it's got more about looting and pillaging over time because the thread drifted. The metagame may have been different in previous editions. I have a group of friends that plays Settlers of Catan in such a way that no one is allowed to make an aggressive move (and they always put the robber on the desert) or the rest will dogpile them. But the game itself is quite accessible. (One way the metagame has changed is that when D&D was the only game in town, people were playing D&D whereas now they would be playing Indie games). And, ProfessorCirno, invalid counter-example. There's a difference between being an explorer and a looter. [/QUOTE]
