[QUOTE="Jerrid Al-Kundo, post: 220515, member: 3321"] [b]Re: Re: What is role playing?[/b] That sums it up for me, rather nicely. It's kinda like being in a movie or a book. Very rarely are such handled in the prospect of "hack-kill-treasure-hack-kill-treasure", but rather are a series of RP-based scenarios with occasions of action and/or violence. Refering to Flexor's original post, the issue seems to arise around RttToEE. Having browsed through the adventure, I found it time driven and extremely combat/action focused. Where it's made to purposefully bring the characters from 4th to 14th Level in a short amount of time, my own style (and that of my group) would have such a gain take years of game time. In such regard, when folks say, "that's not role-playing," what they're likely really saying is, "it doesn't permit me to role-play the way I like to." (Is that what you meant, Otter?) Granted, anyone looking down at someone that [i]likes[/i] RttToEE and similar style play is just as guilty of being a snob as someone that says that a character that wasn't min-maxed isn't effective or suitable for play.
