Supposing D&D is gamist, what does that mean?

[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8687152, member: 6795602"] No, absolutely not! #1 I don't take that position, so I won't be opening up a thread for it. It's a decent thought experiment though. #2 I don't know how one could start a thread on that topic that isn't going to come across as a broad claim about D&D play as opposed to just my opinion of how it plays to me. You may have a point here but I'm afraid that it's mostly going to come down to not getting the tone of the post right. Until I see or think of an example that does my opinion is that any offense taken would likely be legitimate. IMO it really depends on how the message is specifically worded. #3 Just because others do something doesn't make it okay for one to do the same Thank you. That's valid enough. For what it's worth, I don't expect the D&D player with no experience with other games to even begin to be able to realize they are applying D&D principles to games that don't share them. I just don't think they have the knowledge to really understand what that means until it's really explained to them. So IMO, chastising them for not knowing what they don't know isn't a very helpful admonishment. Which is why I directed it more toward those that should know and be able to recognize when that's happening. [/QUOTE]
