[Canon Fodder] Story Games – Dogs is D&D

Here’s a somewhat out-of context quote from a current Story Games thread that I feel like sharing. Go read the whole thread if you’d like – or just appreciate the general tongue-in-cheek insight of Mark Woodhouse’s comment.

Funny, yes.  But also – in my experience – rather accurate, from a broad point of view. So I’m using it rigorously in spite of Mark’s fair warning. <grin>

All gaming is either D&D or Vampire. You either play a team of characters of some varying degree of unity and team-ness who engage with challenges of some sort and defeat them, or you play an unorganized group of possibly antagonistic avatars who mostly emote a lot and attempt to manipulate each other to little lasting impact.

NOTE: Above paragraph has tongue deeply inserted into cheek. Do not attempt to use rigorously.
