[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9317765, member: 6790260"] There isn't one. Which is the whole reason why I criticize so much of this stuff. When I play a roleplaying game, I want to [B]game[/B] by and with [U]roleplaying[/U], and I want to [B]roleplay[/B] by and with [U]gaming[/U]. Reducing the [I]game[/I] down to "GM says" trivializes that game, at which point, I may as well just go do freeform RP, I'm sure I could convince multiple people I know to do so. The game's the thing wherein you catch the interest of the king. Game without roleplay is just numbers, and I have computers to do that for me (and much better than any person could.) Roleplay without game is just freeform group storytelling, which is something I and my friends used to do and could easily do again. Game with-and-as roleplay, roleplay with-and-as game, is where you transcend the limits of those things and produce something unique and wonderful. [/QUOTE]
