What *isn't* D&D?

[Guest 85555]

D&D isn't:

• a floor wax

be...

You are wrong. Its a game and a floor wax.

D&D isn't:

[*]something worth staying up to 2am gabbing about*

You're quite right.

It's worth staying up till 4 a.m. at least.

It isn't D&D if you're not allowed to creatively discuss things.

A little bit like this thread, now i come to think of it.

Is not D&D if you don't have:

-Ability Scores
-Armour Class
-Hit Points
-Roll a d20 to smack something


Those are as close to deal-breakers a you get with me.

For me, it isn't D&D if it isn't a hodgepodge mishmash of fantasy tropes jammed together with a barely coherent explanation.

It's not D&D is the framework of rules is so rigid that it is about impossible to adapt it to the needs of the campaign and the group.

What isn't D&D:
- classless point-based system which uses points for everything
- mana points system
- a boardgame
- a miniatures game
- non-(quasi)medieval setting
