Most D&D games I played are as much about intruigue and politics.So whose anecdote is superior?Yeah, brush that plot under the table. That'll help you prove your point.Core books - duh! D&D has always been a game about doint it your own way. Giving you the system and leaving the choice of what world to buy or make up to the GM.I wouldn't give that up for the world. I wish more games did it that way.I could make an equal and opposite value judgement about games that come packaged with worlds: "Games that come with settings just spoon-feed you and show that the players and GM lack creativity." There.In truth it doesn't really matter. Do whatever works best for you.That's an awful big brush you are painting with there, mister.Who give a frell about "on the whole". "On the whole" is just a way for you to stereotype. I have been in groups that hack-and-slay. I am also in a d20 game right now in which there has never been a combat. EVER.Sure, great. If you like the categorized "childish thing" then own it.But you are missing the point. Those of who are riled by this aren't riled because we disagree that simple hack-n-slay is childish. I imagine that most of us agree.I am riled because I don't like simple hack and slay and resent being lumped in with those who do.</blockquote>
