[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 3505801, member: 30001"] Of course you do. But how does that turn into a universal truth? If folks really recognized themselves in what your saying, why wouldn't they just say so? I think "inevitable" is an extreme overstatement. Unless your some kind of vampire, there are groups out there for which you don't have the life-span to reach demi-god status. This group I played with in college was much more caught up in the story and I don't think we gained a level all semester. It wasn't my cup of tea, but the other players had a lot of fun. Also, some DMs just stop the campaign once it reaches a certain level. I don't think this says something fundemental about beverages - more about the person consuming them. There's a lot of difference in beer vs. whisky unless all you're looking for is alchohol. The game is just a board and some carved tokens. The only evil that you'll find there is what you bring. :) I'll remember this the next time I'm at a loss for words when trying to explain the concept of an RPG to someone. I'd never let my kids read this thread. It's like I always say, typing is about mastering the keyboard. It's about dominating these little letters, beating them to my will. It's about showing other people how smart I am until they beg me to stop. Anyone who doesn't experience that thrill of power and victory when they type is just deluding themselves. [/QUOTE]
