[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4803902, member: 99"] So these things, these "small things", the drinking of tea, the decorating of residences, the aquisition of jewelry and keepsakes, the forming of meaningful relationships with the local baker who makes that incredible spice bread that goes so good with pat of butter and a glass of milk, these things are in my games. But they are not what my games are "about". My games are about action and adventure and challenges overcome. They are about finding a way against seemingly impossible odds when others would shy from the task. Glory and loss and picking yourself up for one more fight when you don't really think you have one more fight left in you. That is the meat and potatoes of my games. Now that other stuff, the tea drinking, really helps to flavor and provide contrast with the meat and potatoes. But I don't care to play a game which is "about" the tea drinking itself. If there are those out there who DO wish to play that sort of game then there are games available that will (I assume) serve their needs. And I wish them well. But I have no real interest in having them at my gaming table if that is the only sort of game that is going to make them happy. And thus no particular desire to "grow the hobby" in their direction. In fact I don't really regard that kind of game as my hobby and don't regard them taking up that kind of pursuit as having grown the hobby in which I am engaged. [/QUOTE]
