@blinky465 : “it feels like a much more fun way to play tabletop games.”

Maybe not a much mor fun way to play tabletop games. At least : to some people.
You’ve found a new way to enjoy your gaming. The thing is to try and find like-minded players. The experience has to be fun for both (or more, if you play a three or four-sided game…) side of the table.
What you describe is the way I’ve been playing for almost all of my minis-player’s life. But if the person in front of you is bent to “play”, it can be a hell of less fun.
On the other hand, this way of playing (the “let’s pretend” way) is why I still play to this day… It’s just another way to live a story. It’s actually an experience close to role-playing game.
