[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7167921, member: 6778044"] I wasn't implying. He specifically said, "we like to play D&D like it's a board game." I took him at his word. However, you seem to have a very different understanding of what [MENTION=54380]shoak1[/MENTION] is saying than what I took from his specific descriptions. And he seems to agree with your assessment, so I'll take that to mean that when he said "we like to play D&D like it's a board game" may not be exactly what he meant. My point all along, though, has been that there isn't anything [I]wrong[/I] with playing it as a board game, or really any other way that anybody wishes to play the game. From what he's described it sounds quite interesting, although admittedly not a play style I would play for a long period of time. The problem that I'm seeing is that people are responding to statements such as "most gamers play it my way." Now, in response your post he says "his way" is maybe 30%, and that's a quite different statement than "most." Regardless, I now have different thoughts based on your and his last two posts, and there's probably little else I can contribute anyway. [/QUOTE]
