Thank you, pemerton. That's exactly what I'm saying (among other things), though not near so eloquently. :)

And I'm not going to. You and I are people with two different views. I have the support of the fact that they changed the license so significantly that it's easy to have affirmation in my opinion that there was little redeeming value in the original business-wise. You have...what? Hmm, not the...

You know, the person who brought up the point about Dancey's theory was you. I didn't bring it up, and I never challenged it, and I never said it was your theory. What I challenged was your statement that the OGL was successful. I say again "Just because the networking concept was the basis is...

If I had access to the quarterly reports prior to rumors of 4e (necessary for excluding financial biases based from the rumors), I could. But unless you can tell me where I can find them, both sides of the argument are unprovable. Just because the networking concept was the basis is not proof...

LOL. That is why I won't even bother with your flailing about.

Oh yeah, I'm being real sarcastic. Because we all know the real reason they felt the need to completely rewrite the OGL into the GSL was because the OGL was sooo lucrative.

Very enlightening. You make a convincing argument. :p

see is correct in his interpretation. Though I'm not sure creating extra alignments is the same as creating extra classes. I think creating extra alignments would be more like adding to a particular class, which might actually violate the above quote from the GSL. Annoying the GSL may be...

LOL. So, nails on a chalkboard=bad. :p

Hobo's joke aside (which does, by the way, highlight that I somehow made a "broad definition of fantasy"), I never included romance literature. That said, please, just keep it on the subject at hand, which is currently focused on late fantasy. Thanks.

Uhhh. Okaaayyy. Not sure where you came up with that one. Does anyone know what he's talking about, or what he's trying to say? "I'd swear he's not speaking real English."

Ummm. That's not fantasy. That's just erotic fiction. Minds out of the gutter, and focus.

This is pretty funny. How do you know? I think the recent poll says it all. When 90% of the people on this site GM 75% of the time, I think that pretty much says that we're missing a good chunk of the players out there. GM's are therefore the most likely to seek out online sources for playing...

Actually, the blank page syndrome occurs BECAUSE of the blank page. That is, your mind blanks out when looking at a white space. The mesmerizing effect occurs because your eyes have nothing to focus on, and thus dilate and blur your vision, causing you to zone out into a hypnotic state. And that...

Time (They're still working on it). My point being that it won't be lacking for 4e. You won't need to look through every book. Just pop up the Compendium, and you'll find it all. Being searchable, it will be really easy. And if at any time they're missing any book's input, you won't need you're...

You need to take a look at the Compendium. It is now up and running, and they have hundreds of magic items in there. O_O (But then they put every gradient of "+" item in there, so that's fluffing it up a bit.)

Less fluff means more room for other things. Could you imagine how few monsters would be in the MM if it had the fluff of the old MM? There's already enough furor over the reduction of the number of entries. Now people want to reduce that? (Yes, I know, there's bigger words and more space on the...

And don't forget the "treme" part. Very important. :D

I love campaign blogs.

I'll let you have that simply because, to me, that part of the discussion is over. Now, how about a discussion about the difference between modern fantasy and late pre-Tolkien fantasy... (Nothing comes to my mind just yet, except maybe Alice in Wonderland, but maybe someone else wants to start...
