[QUOTE="Zaran, post: 6297230, member: 56710"] It's not that simulation is necessarily trying to emulate reality. Simulation is adding a Green Dragon to the area because the environment is a Jungle . Simulation is giving the GM enough information that they actually create a world and not just put together balanced encounters. Simulation is interpreting what a player wants their character to do into the rules without requiring them to have the specific action on their character sheet. I want the tools and information to have the world make sense and that can be set on top of the rules. I do not want to hand-wave crafting a sword. I do not want to minimize life in the city just because it detracts from getting the PCs into the dungeon. It's something that really doesn't need a new edition to accomplish but that ship has sailed. I feel like it's a good thing that they seem to be focusing on giving the GM enough tools to more than just make great encounters. [/QUOTE]
