[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3860870, member: 30035"] First, I have to say to all those who contend that the fault in lack of roleplaying lies with the D&D system: I play twice monthly in a D&D game that is almost entirely roleplaying. We frequently have sessions with no combat, and often can complete an entire session with virtually no dice-rolling. We do this because it's what we all want out of the game. We'd do the same thing no matter what system we chose to use, because our goal is to roleplay our characters. It's the players who make the game, not the system, IMHO. Others here have already pointed out that the definition of roleplaying is different for different people. I think I commented in another of Oryan 77's threads that perhaps the so-called "powergamer" actually [U]is[/U] roleplaying his character, by his own personal standards. Just because he isn't doing it the way Oryan 77 would like him to doesn't mean he's doing it wrong. I've noticed, Oryan 77, that you've posted several threads recently about how dissatisfied you are with your current gaming experience. Perhaps it's time to step back and decide whether you'd like to take a break from GMing, look for a different group of players, or adjust your expectations of the game. If your game continues as it is, it sounds to me like you will soon become a burned-out GM, and that won't be fun for anyone. [/QUOTE]
