I played a lot of D&D when I was a teenager but it pales in comparison to the amount my teenage daughter plays today. Discord has made it so easy for her to get a group going that she has 3 different groups each week. However, they are much less about min/maxing as they are about the drama and story.
- bregma 6y agoI think minmaxers were always just a specialized subgenre of fantasy gamers. The core to role playing games is playing a role -- the strict definition of drama and story. There was always a schism between those who saw the rules as an enabling technology to explore alternative takes on the human condition, and those who saw story and character as a matrix onto which the rules could be projected. Same as pretty much everything else, I'll wager.
