We don't play out your 10nth time at a generic shop out either, but still buy stuff and don't call it Accounting Fantasy Gaming.We cut the time on boring roleplaying to get to the juicy part we haven't got every session. When visiting town that's when Grug gets the message that his father has been poisoned or is wife is pregnant. When fighting we cut hand to hand descriptor to the point the orc warlord enters the combat at the refugee camp and Grug has to choose wether he confronts his sworn nemesis, the warchief, as honor dictates, or jumps to the defense of the orphans about to be slaughtered by grunts, as the goodness of his heart dictates.Roleplaying isn't just one part of the game, it's the whole thing and that's just what I think is the message of Baur's statement. It isn't about the minitua of when somebody should be allowed to call his combats roleplaying. D&D as a whole is altogether a roleplaying game. Some may want more com,bat in it, some less. Some may want (or be able) to put less characterisation in it, but he's still playing a roleplaying game.No matter how some may want to cover it up with nitpicks, minitua and vocabulary, in the end many just want to say, well it's a roleplaying game and we roleplay and others don't, so the game should cater more to us then others. It's the some old discussion, it just wears a hat this time around.</blockquote>
