Matt Colville - Roleplaying

I don't normally do this, and I know I posted a different Matt Colville video on Friday, but this video on Role Playing is very interesting. I don't agree with everything he says, but as a rhetorical piece discussing Role Playing and what it means it is very good. I'd love to hear or read your thoughts.

As a word of caution, this video is 45 minutes long. It's worth it in my opinion. He goes over a lot of stuff. And he does it in a very judgment free way.

What Does Your Magic/Fighting Style Look Like?

I want to start by saying that I am bad at this. However, despite combat in RPGs being a largely mechanical affair, there is a lot of room for character expression in not only what your character tries to do during the fight, but in the how as well. Today I want to talk about this, and how combat can be used for character expression, and enriching the combat encounter for everyone, without getting in the way.
