[QUOTE="shoak1, post: 7167414, member: 54380"] I'm sure you mean well, but to be fair, it seems here like you are roping D and D off from board games, slapping the RPG-only label on it, ignoring the other aspects of D and D and its history of intermixing with other genres (are you going to tell me its not part miniatures game? and what would you consider 4e to be?), and basically fencing out me, the guy in the quote, and most of the people I have ever played with. Here again your choice of words betrays your lack of appreciation and respect of my style. You claim I am[I] "play[ing] D and D as little more than a boardgame".[/I] Perhaps instead I am [I]"Boldly infusing D and D with tactical challenges to bring purpose to and enrich an otherwise inconsequential story."[/I] So my play style [I]"robs DMs of their creative freedom and sucks the life out of the story"[/I] ? Really? What if I see it as [I]"Breathing life and vibrancy into the tactical challenge aspect of the game heretofore left languishing under the boot of Big DM and Big Story."[/I] I'm gonna instead go with [I]"Making space in the car for other crucial aspects of the game including Big Challenge, a feature which has been routinely and methodically crushed under the oppressive weight of Big Story and Big DM."[/I] [/QUOTE]
