It's about player ingenuity to overcome obstacles, that's it. They can use stuff on their character sheet or not, that's immaterial. It's also not about 'not roleplaying', that's just nonsense. In a low mechanics environment (which is where skilled play originates) there's a game element past pushing mechanical buttons, an element where the players use their noodles to get stuff done. Why that needs to be a controversial idea is beyond me. The more mechanical buttons you add, and the less room the system in question leaves for player ingenuity, the less skilled play is an appropriate moniker for the game in question. It's not complicated,None of the above has a whit to do with whether or not other styles of play also require skill, of course they do, but that isn't what we're getting at specifically in this case.</blockquote>
