The Grimoire Forever thread and the Fantasy Economies news thread have both gone off topic to discuss RPGs and Combat.
This is one of the oldest discussions around that goes to the heart of "What is and Role Playing Game"?
Some key points have been made once again differentiating between an Adventure Game and an RPG. Also, pure Role Playing games and LARPing have been brought up.
The Puzzle Game/RPG Hybrid has leant itself to the discussion thanks to the game's choice of replacing any combat with the puzzle.
Its been pointed out by Magerette that its not a game without combat and I've made the point that without some sort of combat the games are actually unfun and developers know this.
Horace and DTE are poking holes into each other's belly with +5 short swords and even Dhruiny's made a comment or two.
