Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 9243195" data-attributes="member: 5142">Political drama doesn't have to be about arithmetic in roleplaying games.The Chronicle System was first developed by Green Ronin for political and dramatic roleplaying in A Song of Ice and Fire. Stars/Worlds Without Number is a D&D-adjacent "OSR" game that features rules supporting the play of factions and kingdoms, which in turn influenced faction rules in John Harper's Blades in the Dark. Characters in the PbtA game of Root will also have their reputations with factions go up and down through play, which affects how NPCs of the respective factions respond to PCs, and the GM likewise will take faction turns between sessions. There is arithmetic there, but it's also about having written rules and guidance that actively support faction play. Your statement here about rollplay is not only rude and deeply insulting to others, it also grossly misunderstands and mischaracterizes roleplaying other games that do not utilize freeform roleplaying as not true roleplaying or lesser roleplay. This may be "your opinion" but hiding behind your opinions doesn't change the issue one bit. You can have opinions without crossing the line into insulting others or mischaracterizing other roleplaying games that others enjoy. If you aren't capable of expressing the opinions you have that involve insulting others and their roleplaying, then you probably would have been better off not saying any of this drivel in the first place.</blockquote>
