        Definitely; muds are not P&P RPGs, and to simply copy things from
        P&P RPGs without recognizing the differences is silly. On the other
        hand, though, that doesn't mean that none of the techniques of P&P
        RPGs are useful -- only that they shouldn't be used blindly or
        unthinkingly.

        That mainly leads to differences in GMing technique, though. A good
        P&P RPG system's *mechanics* are perfectly usable for group
        vs. group conflicts.
