That is painfully obvious in most all of life.D&D had no narrativist options it is pretty much just G and S.D&D is very good for many things. It is also very bad for many types of play.It is great for doing a classic dungeoncrawl. It invented the dungeoncrawl and does it well.It does a good job of simulating the heroic journey. It does tactical combat pretty well.It is generally bad for exploring character goals and motivations.It is pretty bad for murder mysteries.It is pretty bad for horror.It is REALLY REALLY bad for stories that involve characters of widely different levels of combat prowess.This just means that it is a tool that is best used for games that are focused on its strengths and maybe not the best tool for exploring other types of themes and genres.</blockquote>
