Re: (TFT) Is TFT a role playing or board game?

[raito@raito.com]

I had played a lot of TFT where hexes never came into the picture. For that,
it's just another system. 

One slight problem with the tactical system is that the GM has to be an 
order of
magnitude better player than his players. Not only does he have to know the
rules better, he has to be able to play everything from the dumbest beast to
the flashiest villain, and do it properly for the character he's assuming at
the time. 

Alternatively, he has to be able to balance the forces on each side of the
conflict such that the resolution of the tactical side moves thngs along. If
the players are a lot better than the GM, that's not fun (except for
munchkins). Always winning doesn't make for good role-play.
