[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5477070, member: 177"] I didn't say the soul of D&D [B][I]is[/I][/B] orcs and dragons. I have already said I am not sure the soul of D&D exists at all. I am saying that, if it exists, the soul of D&D [b][I]includes[/I][/b] orcs and dragons. I'm thinking pantries, remember - orcs and dragons are common elements used in many D&D games, but don't need to be in all of them. But, then again, the soul of D&D may also be genre fantasy, and that's about it. I don't think I'd prickle too much at that idea, and I don't mind if other fantasy games share a soul with D&D. The body and spirit/personality may change with games, and between campaign settings and individual campaigns. I may even wind up favoring that idea. [/QUOTE]
