[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5027720, member: 80487"] You can say so, but that does not make it so. Alternatively, you could stop trying to claim a monopoly on depth. It's odd that you either do not see or really do intend the implication that [b]real life[/b] "lacks depth". First, a big HUH?? to "in the keyed adventure (to use your words)". Second ... come on, [i]really[/i] ... does the independent existence of San Francisco really doom [b]your[/b] life to petty shallowness? Or do you believe that you have some magical power over all the habitats and inhabitants of Earth, that by its virtue grants your life every bit of depth it possesses? No. It's like saying, "We are not watching a movie; we are playing a role-playing game!" "Other than over time"? What in blazes do you mean?! Even a heroin junkie needs time to experience the injected rush! Oh, [i]do tell![/i] Please, Hussar, count the ways in which killing and looting in dungeons is [b]soooo inferior[/b] to killing and looting on your movie set. Please, Hussar, tell us how we [b]must[/b] be limited to doing [b]nothing but that[/b] if we do it at all, despite the fact that good old D&D right from the start was for a much wider ranging campaign. Oh, heck, Hussar, why not just tell us how horribly inferior D&D is to the game you [i]really[/i] want to play -- then you can tell us why on Earth you are farting around here on a thread about being [b]D u n g e o n[/b] Masters????!!!
