I was curious about the acronym. One of the people in my group plays something they call "Amber". I'm not sure if that's an actual gaming name, or just the name of their campaign, but it consists of diceless role-playing. Which I've tried a couple of times before.
I enjoy the role-playing aspects of D&D, always have, but also feel the need to kill things on occasion. D&D is the perfect outlet for that. I'm not saying I'll go on a homicidal rampage if I don't get my gaming fix, but it makes the stupid people more tolerable if I can imagine them as an orc that's holding some innocent hostage, and I'll be dealing with them more effectively when I get to "game" again.
Yes
