[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1968146, member: 13654"] I did say it was slight, but perhaps I should have explained further at that. Playing GURPS is not the same as playing D&D. Playing Rolemaster or Runequest or any number of other fantasy RPG's are also not the same as playing D&D. If you're mucking about with fundamental aspects of D&D rules enough you WILL kill off those aspects that make it D&D and not some OTHER RPG. But that's not the same as playing D&D ostensibly using the RAW, but nonetheless having botched up using or outright abusing those rules to the point where you might theoretically be playing D&D but playing it in such a freakish manner that to a typical player it's "wrong". One is perhaps a matter of genuinely, knowingly altering the system beyond its recognizeable limits, the other is more a matter of not knowing or caring what D&D is and by not following its generally accepted "tenets" producing wierd results.
