What is tabletop roleplaying?

A lot of different people have different definitions, leading to all sorts of variations from traditions like D&D and GURPS to variations on the theme, like Microscope.  Everyone is, of course, right in their own way - and wrong to many others.  Lost Garden says that if we want to make our own game, we should "Knock a genre down to its most basic element", so allow me to explain what tabletop roleplaying means to me as I step into the world of making my own.

Tabletop?  Check.  Roleplaying?  Check.
Tabletop roleplaying?  You wish.

My List:

1. It means sitting around a table with other people, engaged in the joint storytelling of ridiculously awesome (and probably cheesy) stories, and having social fun in the real world with real friends.
2. It means two types of players:  Players that only play 1 character at a time, and a GM that plays everyone else.  (I do like Microscope's idea, but it isn't the same type of game for me)
3. It means a game: rules are present, and realism is largely irrelevant.
   
4. It means the GM can ignore or modify #3 in favor of improving #1, as long as it is done fairly (Rule 0).
5. It means all players take equal responsibility for enjoyable play - and no one gets to be a dick (Rule 00).
6. It means funny shaped dice and endless sheets of paper.  And pencils.  And lots of erasers.
7. It means discovering new and interesting creatures, killing them, and taking their awesome loot.
8. It means interacting with NPCs, reasonably in-character, and either befriending or outwitting them.
9. It means anything that is complex or can't be talked-out at the table has a random resolution.
10. It means some kind of magic - spells, gods, curses, the Force, psionics, bouncing-off-the-walls-kung-fu, whatever - I don't care much for playing in a mundane setting.
