[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 7167542, member: 284"] You asked why people seem to have trouble understanding your playstyle. I gave you a possible answer. Yay! Go you! Fight the Power! Don't let those guys tell you what to do! When their jackbooted thugs come around to force you to tell a story and have a DM who does more than play referee, you stand up for your right to play D&D like a watered down wargame! :p In response, I'd say it sounds like you are choosing to mostly ignore 2/3rds of the game. And being rather melodramatic about it. ;) You are also implying that the way everyone else plays the game ignores the tactical aspect of it, which is patently false. Look, I don't particularly care about how you play D&D - I'm not involved in your game. You asked a question, I gave a possible answer. D&D is based on a table-top wargame (Chainmail, etc) and grew into a roleplaying game. Sounds like you want to get back to its roots and focus on the tactical aspect. No biggie. [/QUOTE]
