the problem with D&D is that it takes a really really good DM to make that level of transparency happen where it doesn't just feel like a bunch of people sitting at a table rolling die.

It also takes prepared participants.

the whole appeal to wow is more of an "action RPG" I think. you don't have to micro manage rolling the die, doing resist checks, mathematical formulas to see how much you resist or how high someone has to roll to hit you etc..


the game engine is doing all of that for you, which lets you focus on having fun.



granted there is something to be said about one of your friends having crazy antics and screaming from the kitchen about mountain dew


and now some videos in honor of the late mr gygax
