[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 165319, member: 945"] I enjoy D&D because of the social interaction. I only get to see my friends once every two weeks, so we have to spend time just socializing, as well as gaming. So, for me at least, it's as much a social gathering as it is a game. Technically, I could have just as much fun playing something like Robo-Rally, BattleTech, or Chez Geek, but those don't have the longevity that D&D tends to have. Because unlike those others, D&D is far more versatile. With most games, it's the same basic premise every time. Every game of Chez Geek involves getting slack. Every game of Battletech involves fighting robots or tanks, and every game of Robo-Ralley involves not dying over and over again. D&D has more variety to it. I can play a man, or woman, I can be good or evil, I can solve puzzles or kill orcs. It's that endless variety of role-playing games that brings me back time and time again. The other reason I enjoy playing D&D is I enjoy listening to the stories other people have to tell. It lets me be creative, and be a part of someone else's creativity. If I'm DMing, I get to tell a story. If I'm playing, I get to play a part in someone else's story. [/QUOTE]
