[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7692860, member: 4937"] Fine. Point still stands. An RPG session isn't a novel either. A novel is a passive experience by the reader. An RPG is interactive. No, I didn't. You spent the whole post complaining that the play didn't resemble Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. I got your point just fine. I just think it's an utterly clueless statement to make. Even if I fully agreed with you, and I don't, this amounts to a preference regarding what is fun in play. It is not objectively true that that style of play is boring. Indeed, it's likely that my preferences in play are more like yours than you think, but it still is true that I have from time to time enjoyed the old school style dungeon crawling as a change of pace and a thing with a certain artistic merit of its own. What this still amounts to is you claiming its 'badwrongfun' for the people who do enjoy that sort of play because it isn't your personal preference. Hence the reason I pointed out the irony.
