That's a good point. I guess in a sense that means the game does structurally promote power fantasy play, but I still don't think it lends itself exclusively to that kind of play.

    No, it doesn't exclude play not centered on its power fantasies.

    But its structure (and the structure of the ubiquitous 'rags to riches'-style of heroes' story) does support it.

    Remember this subthread is a response to someone expressing surprise that D&D isn't solely the domain of [liberal/leftist] nerds.
