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.

Is Wizards Rolling The Dice On Gamism?

Quote from: RPGObjects_chuckBy Gamism, you're saying competition between players will be encouraged, and players will be "scored" individually, like the old tournament modules you mentioned?

I think what Calithena is saying is that he prefers it when players play the in-game situation, rather than the system.

For my part, I wonder if 4E (like 3E) will pretty much require players to take the books home, read them, and tweak their character builds. Because my players don't read RPG books. And I don't want to buy adventures that assume the party of 4th level PCs are tweaked for maximum combat efficiency.
