Dude. Step into Logic by Patrick J. Hurley. That is relying on the original use of the term in logic, which fits with my #2, but which shows a more purposeful intent. Also known psychologically as avoidance. The social term existed before the logic term. It is in our language not as a result of...

I beg to differ. MMORPG's are HUGE. People who know MMORPG's will be able to relate to 4e VERY easily. There's nothing new in D&D to them. Additionally, just the name "Dungeons & Dragons" and the concept do and always have related to everyone. The name is comprehendable and iconic. The main...

Or maybe it's just a whole-hearted support of 4e, good business sense, and an agreement with WOTC's move.

"Begging the question" is a term applied to two different things in logic: 1) Circular reasoning (undoubtedly what you're referring to, more specifically begging someone to accept the question) 2) An unaddressed, but implied question (from which the term originates)

OMG. Great quote. Great episode. Great way to bring the point home. "You may not know THIS race or THIS story, but it relates to this other stuff in just the same way." Isn't that what a meme is all about? (Rhetorical)

Correction, guys. I was speaking on the terms Korgoth quoted.

Those terms were challenged by mlund and I believe they are synonymous with and inseparable from political issues.

I once again suggest the whole economic theme be dropped. As this thread has proven, it will invariably lead to politics, as some ideas must be backed by law and others are dependent entirely upon one's political view. One clearly cannot be had without the other. The purpose of this thread...

Thank you. I forget myself sometimes. :)

Yeah, I'm definitely going to pass on "formulating arguments" on meme-talk, thanks. :hmm:

This is exactly why economics should not be a part of this discussion. Instead of taking my point home, the elitists want to pick at the inexactness of any statement. Pecking like this only irritates. It serves no purpose.

rofl. QFT. :D I don't know whether to laugh my head off at this pseudo-intellectual "meme" talk, or to hang my head in disappointment at the human race.

I think gamersgambit was actually on the money in his point about entertainment getting the major money during a recession. The best and most classic example is the depression era. Despite the depression, movies were in full swing. We also have a new example. We are now eight years into this...

Some here make it sound like it's impossible for anyone to want to do the 4e license as if it has leprosy. Just because you won't be doing anything 4e, or you know of companies that won't, doesn't mean there aren't companies that will.

Just because Goodman games is announcing the end of 3e product sales has no bearing on the October 1st start date. They're clearly trying to get as much sales out of the PDF's as they can over the next 3 months before they release their first 4e product. It's not like they announced a product to...

There's been speculation that Gnomes are going to be one of the two "G's" in the PHB2, but I don't recall any WOTC release info stating such.

Where did you read that?

Snowflake: Gnomes. Let's see... non-tinkering, non-garden gnomy, non-descript, not special, useless in a fight. Do they even belong in the game? Not in my opinion. They're like jawas, except not as cute or useful, but neither are they scary. DM: "Gnomes attack your party." Lilia, the fighter...

The Dragon Mag article on Illusionists provides 5 spells that have nothing to do with direct attacks. However, spells by their nature in 4e are meant for combat. Rituals are where you get the majority of your non-combat tactics. I have no doubt things involving trickery are on their way. I...

I didn't use that as a defense. I was simply providing a correction to the misconception that it was somehow new. I too think it's unacceptable and that WOTC needs to tighten its editing practices.
