Okay, so you don't agree. Cool. You'll need a different approach guys.

Howle's Moving Castle. Besides its walking ability, it has a door that opens to far away locations with the twist of a wheel.

One of the features that science fiction elitists require of science fiction (I know, because I've had several such conversations with them) is that the plot must be resolved through the science. Despite my disagreement on that point, this point in their argument remains valid: without science...

Okay, well, as you go through the thread, don't respond to any of the economics and politics stuff. It took a forklift, a jackhammer, and a moderator's threat to get that discussion to stop, and we'd hate for the thread to close. :)

P.S. I wrote that last post before I voted, before I saw the results, and before I saw Mercurius's post.

I suspect that the demographic on RPG websites will not accurately reflect the demographics of RPG players. RPG boards are generally more GM-centric for reasons that GM's seek out information and tend toward bigger egoes. Players have little need to seek out information and are going to be more...

:confused: Oooookayyy. Wow.

Now you're just taking it in circles. You say names matter. I say they don't. Wow. Isn't that...simple...?

This is really where I think things go off track, when people equate the effects of the LGS going out with the inability of RPG's to be distributed. It's clear that LGS's barely touch overall RPG sales these days. In the 80's, yes, the LGS was the bread and butter of the RPG industry, but today...

Well seeing as I have no personal bias against Amazon, you would be completely wrong in this assumption. I don't see proofs on your side, either. OH LOOK! Pure air! They call those opinions, which is all this thread has been. Somehow suddenly we're supposed to accept your lack of support as...

Just because no one paid for it right away doesn't mean no one paid for it. Also, the fact of his buying a set of books doesn't mean his company didn't buy a copy, as they did not have permission to distribute multiple copies (what was it, a maximum of 5 copies or something like that?) to more...

As convincing as your emphatic statement is, I think I'll trust my memory (as bad as it is) until I see something otherwise. While I did not have sufficient evidence to convince someone by my memory of who bought it, I think the fact that Goodman has so many products already available makes it...

"Then I guess you don't know everything about [business]." —Princess Leia :hmm: Business is a power struggle. There's no such thing as corporate etiquette. There's a reason they say it's "dog eat dog". If you're not the one doing the pushing and pulling, then you're the one being pushed and...

That's not true. I forgot where I saw it, but Goodman was the first company to pay the fee. They did indeed pay for it. Maybe because they're the only ones that's why they got special permission as a sort of thumbing their nose at those who didn't pay. They couldn't possibly prepare all those...

The interesting thing here is that the GSL we see on the WOTC website is not likely the same as the one they had to pay $500 to see, as there were undoubtedly concessions for pre-release and early release stipulations in the contract as reward for paying the money to see it early. I don't see...

That comes down to power. Who has greater power over the other? In this case, Amazon has the power. WOTC can't afford to lose their business, which means Amazon can pretty much do whatever the hell it wants to. Sell early, force cost decreases, etc. Now if it were just a small time distributer...

Demons, naked chicks, and gore are not family friendly and therefore cut off a large demographic that could be enjoying the game. What seems commonly acceptable to the most families: Violence (Remember, one difference between PG-13 and R movies is the amount of blood and gore allowed) Scanty...

No, because you're saying that people won't connect with D&D because they DON'T recognize it in the social memory. I'M saying that the social memory IS established regardless of name, that name doesn't matter to the social memory. Names matter only to quick recollection. You also said the...
