The results weren't what I would personally consider satisfying; however, those people seemed content. As such, I don't feel it's entirely accurate for me to say it can't be done. I would say it is extremely difficult (and maybe impossible) for the system as is to provide the depth I personally like in those aspects of living out my character's imaginary life; however, I don't feel I can honestly say it's impossible for some number of people to satisfy their own personal desires for those roleplaying aspects.  I can't argue with the Descent reference because I've often made that comparison myself. Truth be told, one of the things I use instead of the WoTC tiles when playing D&D are pieces from Descent dungeons. As for the 'main focus,' I don't fully buy that I invented that concept. Maybe I invented my own term for what to call it, but there are certain ideals about gaming upon which D&D is currently built. The same can be said for previous editions as well as other rpgs systems. It's by design that certain elements of the D&D experience have been given more attention, and other elements have been given less (or virtually no) attention.</blockquote>
