[QUOTE="Pickles III, post: 6812174, member: 6793942"] I recognise & try to respect that you have specific tastes in your gaming. I believe these to be niche as I can't recall anyone else I've played with having them however this is somewhat self selecting. I suppose that I mostly take exception to being told that a term I have been using for 35+ years to mean one thing now means something else & that I am doing it wrong. I agree there has been a development from moving pawns in a giant puzzles though method acting* to meta game story systems (or at least meta-character/metarole systems as the out of character mechanics exist within the game). These are all quite distinct and maybe deserve their own terms but to me & mine they are all sub categories of RPGs. * I noticed in some other thread you distinguished roleplayers & combat monkeys. I prefer the terms "wannabe method actors" & "tactical geniuses" ;) [/QUOTE]
