This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: flyingmice;252964Ah... I misinterpreted your OP, then. You posted "Role-playing First: It's all about role-playing, and that can be done no matter the system, I can use them all." I interpreted that last as "systems don't give me any trouble. I can master any system." Mentally subtract at least one vote then. I wouldn't have chosen any of the other options.

Thanks for clarifying!

See, and I think I read it as he intended. I mean, I design games and thus mechanics have a lot of my attention but I view them differently, as I understood the poll, from any of his choices. I do not think this makes me forgey. Heck, despite your insistence that I write hippie games (you cabin-boy lover!) I believe it was also you who branded me trad. So, I think the true make up of the site still eludes us.

Do you play to win or are you just a bad loser?

Hippie game:



'nuff said! :D

Kidding aside, I do consider you solidly trad. Gleichman just has very idiosyncratic - to the rest of the hobby anyway - edge-bounded definitions about such things.
