You describe roleplaying, but not playing a roleplaying game. It's that game aspect that demands rules to govern the roleplaying experience. Once you get beyond mere roleplaying you need rules in order to turn it into a game that is more than just playing make-believe.Personally, I enjoy the game aspects in roleplaying games. I enjoy limitations because they fuel my imagination. If I could simply do anything I wanted, I would quickly run out of steam and couldn't help but feel it's all rather pointless. Rules are also extremely important for one of the key incentives in RPGs: improving your character and watching it get more powerful, the longer you play it. There may be a few rpgs without much character development in them, but they are in the minority and usually not something I am interested in. It's something I need to get a sense of accomplishment.</blockquote>
