[QUOTE="boredgremlin, post: 3666870, member: 31646"] See to me none of those things are D&D. D&D is a storytelling adventure game where people get to escape from thier regular, boring mundane lives for a while and be someone special doing special things. I dont think any of the math, or "holy cows" of gaming have anything to do gaming. I know as a DM i have recruited D&Ders, not told them what we were playing, just the setting, and then ran a great white wolf game..... with white wolf rules and mechanics. Whether a palidan, orc, or goofy priest/wizard distinction exists has nothing to do with gaming for me. As a kid i loved the stories, the escapism, and being someone more special then anyone can really be in our world now. And i think most people love gaming for the same reasons. If what the dice your rolling are or the name of your character can ruin a game for you then your not a real gamer. And if your honestly more interested in game mechanics then plost, story, and feasibility.... you should go play everquest or warcraft online. Roleplaying just isnt for you. [/QUOTE]
