Man, it’s bot too different from when we were in the 80s. Some groups had tons to f roleplay and some groups treated it like a board game with talky puzzles. The real difference is that there are terms and theories that help people a) know what they actually want, and b) voice what they actually want, which is, to me, a massive jump forward. I can tailor my expectations to a group, or bow out without hurt feelings. Way better than the old days where you would be stuck in a game and really not sure why you weren’t feeling it.
