The concept of professional training of gamed out simulated scenarios, i remember seeing this, separately from d&d, traced back to the same place.
Look I'm with you in spirit, but i think you're missing the secret ending here.
I am talking of times with kids, in the middle of a story, saying that they would have discussed more with the dragon because the princess would have been boring (yes, it's a sexist story in this example). This is also a source of role-playing.
True, but if you want to get that basic, nearly all human behavior is intuitive.
Perhaps. But it was only that war isn't needed to imagine stories, even if those stories follow some rules.
I was expecting that you would say that not war but conflict is always present.
Not needed. Not hiw we had to get this. Just how we did. Other paths to most things, most less awful than the ones we took.
