roll-playing

Noun

 * 1) An approach to roleplaying games that focuses excessively on numerical scores (such as those obtained by rolling dice) at the expense of character and realism.
 * 2) * 1996, Jean Carrières, Dream Pod 9 Inc, Heavy Gear Rulebook
 * This method is the easiest but it lends itself to "roll-playing" instead of roleplaying since it focuses much of the players [sic] attention on dice and bookkeeping tasks.
