[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8705111, member: 59082"] 95% of forum questions, discussions, and debates could be solved by this, but for some reason there's this common view that we must all be on the same page, or that there is a "right way" to play. (not saying the OP is suggesting this, but it is often implied). D&D is a game that is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some it is a game in which they can create worlds and stories and share it with their friends; for others, it is a way to engage in imaginary worlds and stories, as a fun once-a-week past-time; for some, it is mostly a tactical combat game; for others, it is more a game to play-act a role; and for some, even, it is a way to explore their own sub-conscious feelings, wishes and fantasies, while for others it is a diversion to roll dice, kill things and take their stuff. Some people want to explore real-world socio-political dynamics in fantasy allegory, while others want nothing of the sort and just want to play a fun game of adventure and imagination. And for most, it is some combination of the above, and more. [/QUOTE]
