it doesnt have to be, you can tune a D&D session to suit the audience, such as making it heavy on the board game or card game side

the thing about 70s style D&D is the liberal arts involvement as role playing is really thespianism

the costumes and the soapboxing as people play out thier characters was really something

As some one who started in the Three little book days.

Original 70's DnD started as players vs a killer dungeon built by the DM Aka Gary Gygax

Ironically it was those of us who crossed over from traditional wargames who where more into the role playing your character.

You can see more recent players in pathfinder and dnd 5th wanting to win "the game", the full on RP style of the Mighty Nine of The Glass Cannon is quite different are actors or semi pro ones AND THEY ARE SO WELL BEHAVED""
