[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9446964, member: 6684958"] I guess your counting anything other then dice rolling "role playing?" The 80's was full of the Wargamers D&D and the dungeon crawl murderhobos, and they far out numbered all other gamers. The vast majority of modules had near zero story, role playing or even fluff. Just a bunch of locations with monsters to kill. The average player with character "Fred X" would just attack anything that was encountered...and if Fred died, then "Feed XI" would just 'pop' in. The theater kids were rare, and they had characters like "Alson the Brave" with a ten page backstory and they Acted out their character("role played"). Well, the theater kids liked theater...so that made them a separate group. Naturally the cool kids did not like the "theater kids". Though...yea, they were there from the start. It has always been this way....still is today. The kids that have their drow warlock that does 100d100 damage per round and has killed a dragon of every color using only their left hand..........have always targeted the kids miles away over there with a "they are just talking any not playing the real game the right way".
