...and best of all... endless battles!! ....
So while I do enjoy D&D I am one of those freaks who plays a
Role Playing game to
Role Play. Thus never picking up the dice would make me much happier than endless battles. Hence why I often don't play D&D.
I agree 99%! The 1% that I disagree is that I still play D&D quite often. What I like about the system is that you can do anything with it.
The thing that I hate the most is that many use it as a batlle system only. I mean... hello? Roll the dice until the monsters (or your char) are deas? Where's the fun in that?
D&D is fun, and i really like it. to adress what faradaysdisciple said about pure RPing, is just the talking part, isn't completely true. when i think of role playing, i think about experienceing wat it is like to be someone else, es a good game should have talking and playing out how your character would act, which really i think is closer to acting, but a lot of the fun is smashing in the head of an orc.
as to adress the second part, it is the DM's decision to use RPing in a battle, and it can be done, but if you think about it, how much real talking is going on during the heat of a melee battle, i would think near to none, and i doubt that anyone here would have any experience in this area
