[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6988827, member: 15700"] Oh please. Obviously you haven't been reading any of these threads because I've addressed that probably a dozen times now. There is no "right" or "wrong way", there just is. You're either doing it, or you're not. Like I said earlier in my analogy, buying a race car and telling people you're a race car driver despite never actually racing the car doesn't mean anyone is accusing you of badwrongfun for pointing out how you're not actually a race car driver. So if you aren't engaging in the elements that makes a TTRPG different from a boardgame, then you're not playing a TTRPG. That's not WRONG, or BAD, or anything else if your group is having fun. But it's not playing a TTRPG at that point either. I am soooo tired of people slinging out the whole "badwrongfun accusation" to anyone who happens to be pointing out that someone's opinion or personal feelings aren't fact. No one has the right to change how things are defined and then call out other people as being the bad ones when it's pointed out. And not every disagreement is an insult or pejorative. It just is. So if you (general you) are going to deviate from how the game is expected and designed to be played, take ownership of that instead of trying to blame it on anyone else who is pointing that out. There's nothing wrong with playing D&D like a boardgame if that's what you want. No one ever said it was. But saying you're doing something you're not doesn't make it suddenly true. If I like to throw the ball around a baseball field, but don't use bats in our game, then I'm not playing baseball. That doesn't mean I'm engaging in badwrongfun. That means I'm not playing baseball as it's defined. [/QUOTE]
