[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 5959316, member: 37277"] Can be, and is for some games. I don't like it in my D&D. I do like those. But again, not in my D&D. I even really like Dungeon World (haven't had a chance to play it yet, though), but I approach it differently than I do D&D. I resent being forced to change my playstyle to play the same game I've been playing for 24 years. When I desire a change in playstyle, I will play a different game. I don't think that's so hard to grasp. And I don't get why that's so hard for 4E fans to understand. The feel of the game is created in large part by the mechanics, and the mechanics of 4E changed so drastically from previous editions that the feel of the game also changed. So when I say that by playing 4E, I don't feel like I'm playing D&D, that's what I mean. I play other games. I like to play other games. I enjoy reading about game design. I do not think that Forge theory necessarily is correct for all games. I can point to several games on my shelf where Forge theory application would change the game way too much to feel like the game on the title. [/QUOTE]
