Realism in D&D games

[buzz]

In my game:

Realism - no
Verisimilitude - yes

Ditto. See .sig.

"Realism" tends to be a moving target when it comes to RPGs; everyone seems to desire it in an RPG, but no one can ever properly define what makes a game "realistic." I find it's often simply code for "the way I want my game to work."

I find that it is best avoided.
