I'm asking about what elements in any edition or system promote and which hinder roleplaying.  I suspect that people will have different answers to this. One person might say "an open storytelling, rules light system" promotes roleplaying because I'm not limited by rules. While another might say "a system that has the rules crunch to support my making any character I can imagine and then do things with that" promotes roleplaying".  So I ask of you all, what helps, what hurts, and why?</blockquote>
