The Rules Gap
May 7th, 2009
In my experience, people who play D&D — and roleplaying games in general — have two ways of looking at the rules.
Some try to make their games fit the rules.
Others try to make the rules fit their games.
Tales of the Rambling Bumblers touched on this in an excellent post about two months ago, but it comes to mind now because of what I wrote about in my previous post, and because of several unrelated recent conversations I’ve had with other gamers and bloggers. My take on it is slightly different from Joshua’s; for one thing, I’m coming at it from the player perspective instead of the system perspective.
