[QUOTE="Zelda Themelin, post: 5810723, member: 167"] Hehe without system for me it certainly would be daydreaming. I sometimes "roleplay" some situations in my head as I think some game to come, but it's kinda planning rather than actually roleplaying. However if I would pick one of those "choose your adventure books" and read/play it (without cheating) or pick sole module like candwell's castle for D&D and roll dice and play it, it would have feel of roleplaying. There would be elements of game. Roleplaying is kinda like acting and when you are doing that alone you are practicing in front of mirror or something. But it also needs to have game part in it. So, I don't feel I am roleplaying without book/module/computer game/other people. There are different worlds for alone-games. I don't about the other poster you refer here, but I certainly am daydreaming when I just think situations and gamestories. [/QUOTE]
