[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4494851, member: 10177"] Well, I think all RPG's allow role playing. As for which does it best? L5R d10. Now this is of the game I know and have played, which is far from all of them. I just love how L5R helps make role playing meaningful within the rules mechanics themselves. I also know that "role playing" means widely different things to different RPG players. There are people who use voices, draw pictures, get into how the clothes of their PC look and what they are made of. Then their are people who don't really think about a "persona" for their PC at all. They roll the dice and see if they killed it. There are people like me, who have a story going on in their head based as closely as possible to the events going on in the actual game itself. My fellow players have practically no clue about it though. They get occassional clues when I say, "My character wouldn't do that, so he'll show mercy, give them 20 gold, and tell them to change their ways for the better." Or, with my 4E Dragonborn, they get a clue when I say, "Does the creature have a liver and how big is it? I LOVE liver!!". There is much more "role playing" going on in my mind then is going on externally. So like Darrin said, there is no "definition" that covers everyone. [/QUOTE]
