[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 4595264, member: 2205"] See? I was perfectly correct in telling you how wrong you are rather than in assuming that you actually meant something other than what you said. :p D&D is a set of rules for roleplaying in a fantasy setting. It has absolutely [I]nothing[/I] to do with the stories told with those rules. The idea that there's an implied contract, implied story, or something like that is nonsense, quite frankly. To use your example; running your bakery while the city is being attacked isn't D&D---would it be D&D if the PCs started looting someone else's bakery? How about if they wer the ones attacking the city? How about if the city is a goblin city? The problem with this is that you can't draw a line in the sand about what kinds of stories are D&D and what aren't, and you shouldn't anyway. D&D is a ruleset, not a genre. Oh, and doppelganger: :rolleyes: Yes. You responded to someone else other than me. And I responded to you. I should have the "decency" to quote the person you were quoting so people can follow the thread? They can read the thread to follow the thread. The nature of discussion, online or elsewhere, is that anyone can respond to anything anyone says. It doesn't follow clear-cut streams or channels. I'm responding to exactly what [I]you[/I] said and the post you replied to is irrelevent to my reply. Anyway, I don't have private message functionality, so I'm responding here. [/QUOTE]
