[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 5969247, member: 4545"] System has a lot to do with it for sure, but D&D is a feel for me. If you change too much, the feeling is lost. When I spend as much time rolling or waiting for others to roll as I do on roleplay interactions, the feeling is lost. When I have to be referred to a long list of possible actions to take instead of merely describing what I want to do and letting the DM decide a chance to succeed and rolling a die, I lose that feeling. When it strives to be too real, it ceases to be D&D to me. When the mechanics try to usurp roleplaying opportunities, it no longer feels like D&D to me. When the system seems to support a specific playstyle and setting, it just isn't D&D to me. I started playing D&D because of how limitless the possibilities were. The more "the system" tries to encroach on possibilities and introduce limits, it's not D&D for me. I have found that throughout my life, my needs and feelings have changed. As always, like what you play and play what you like! [/QUOTE]
