ascendance posted:what's even more frightening is that rpgpundit's post was also mostly reasonable. Basically, if you are playing D&D with no roleplaying, you are doing it wrong. I disagree. 1e had a tournament scene and I can't imagine a group in a tournament taking much time to roleplay. You could play 4e as table top Disgaea if that was your thing. 3e character gen was a fun game that some people played more than actual 3e. These seem like perfectly acceptable and reasonably mainstream ways to play the game. That D&D can be fun without roleplaying is, weirdly, the only thing from this essay I agree with. I don't think the definition of roleplaying game he uses is useful or valid. I think CoC is a particularly dumb counter example because your can easily play CoC as a point and click adventure with dice rolling. Having a weapons list that provides some tactical options is totally cool in the right game. OTOH, unnecessary complex weapons lists in games that don't need them mostly went out the door around the mid 2000s.
