It is however a tabletop RPG that has chosen to take on the problems of a tabletop RPG and do something about them.I understand where you are coming from. Not knowing what an RPG is and trying to reduce them into boardgames.The purpose of D&D's XP rules is to provide incentive for players to do what the game wants them to. In oD&D and 1e this was very clear - and was the whole purpose of the XP for GP rule - manipulating the players into the desired playstyle. It was far from an objective ruleset. By your definition oD&D and 1E were not RPGs.As you are using your own almost unique definition of what an RPG is that excludes Gary Gygax's D&D then I think we can agree that there's no point continuing this conversation. You can invent your RPG Purity Tests all you like - but you aren't Humpty Dumpty. Words don't mean what you want them to if you pay them more - and if your definitions exclude the deliberate design intent of oD&D and 1e then they are objectively wrong.</blockquote>
