    ... and there is a spectrum involved between those who like numbers and rules-based games (also known as "grognards", a term from military models gaming that in turn takes it's name from Napoleon's bodyguard) contrasted with those who are more into the roleplaying.

    The former says "I ask the innkeeper for directions, what modifiers apply to my influence roll?" The latter says (in a corny accent) "Prithee, Good Sir, canst thou directest mine self to our destination?"

    Some people (e.g. LARPers) get seriously into the roleplaying, with costumes and whatnot. Think small-group SCA. There are LARPs that are totally social interaction, with no dice mechanic at all. Some use a deck of cards for minimal randomization. Etc.
