I think modern role-playing is just a particular form of small group enacted storytelling and imaginary adventuring. I think some other form or expression of the same basic idea would have eventually become inevitable. Though the form could have become radically different than what we now know.For instance as a little boy my buddies and I used to get together and build imaginary cockpits and fly imaginary World War II bomber and fighter pilot missions from the second story balcony of my grandmother's house. Perhaps something like that would have developed into an organized game. Complete with clubs to build props and so forth. Wargaming and historical gaming might have transformed in different ways as well.As for me I'd be Vadding more often. Of course I see vadding as a form of real life adventuring/exploration, so the difference would be less imagination and fantasy world, more real world.</blockquote>
