What is it you're doing? 2. How do you know that's what you're doing?Now, before you answer those questions I have this small favor to ask of you. Go wash the dishes. Wash the dishes, dust the furniture, take the dog for a walk, play with the baby. Anything that will occupy your attention, but not totally.With that introduction out of the way we now go on to the body of the post:What are Roleplaying GamesTheories abound, but I have yet to see a all-inclusive description of what it is we do. I submit, good reader, that if we are to make RPGs all they can be we must needs understand what the heck it is we're doing. What follows is not a simple description, for RPGs are too complex a matter to treat simply. By that token, it is as simple as I can make it.You'll also note it closely resembles a previous description I posted on this forum many moons ago. There have, however, been changes made. Said changes should be obvious to those who read the original.That said...While you're busy digesting that (you're sure you've done the dishes?) I'll be working on replying to Wedgeski's post above.More to come.</blockquote>
