The Difference between..

[Jeff Kesselman <jeffk#tenetwork,com>]

Roll playing and Rule playing...

GM: Awfulness the Evilone waves his arms, a glow emanates from his
fingertips and around him the trees and shrubs wither and die, as you watch
the entire graveyard picks up the glow and comes alive as the dead crawl
out of their crypts. One spots you and croaks "BRAAAAIIINSS"!

Joe Roleplayer: COOL! I scream and hide behind the cleric shouting "cast
protection from evil!!"

John Ruleplayer: (Furiously thumbing through the rulebook) "What spell is
that? I don't see that anywhere..."
