[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8521663, member: 29398"] In the days of Chainmail and, later, 4e I'd agree with this. 3e and 5e skew that way but not as much, and 0e can't make up its mind. Basic-1e-2e intentionally moved away from the Chainmail model toward more of a roleplaying-first idea, with varying degrees of success. 5e seems to be designed to allow either the minis combat or the roleplaying to become a table's overall priority, in that a table can almost completely eschew one or the other and still be more or less playing 5e. That seems very much a 3e-4e perspective. I don't usually try to put any personality into my RoboRally robots but I do my best to keep them alive. :) Also, even though I-as-player might go through a few dozen characters in the process, the game's story still rolls along. RoboRally ain't got that aspect and never really will. [/QUOTE]
