With all due respect, who died and made you the official authority on this?
The point I particularly object to is your statement that chance is required. Ever heard of diceless roleplaying games? Amber, for instance? Or is that not really roleplaying? >>
I said, "it seems to me." I may not be the official authoity on anything,
but I AM
the official authority on the way things seem to me. Why the nasty tone? Just
a tad defensive?
Yes, diceless rpgs -- I've played them and they mostly seem to be scripts, not rpg's.
Very well-written scripts, many of them.
