I've read the first post almost thirteen times and I have concluded that it has something to do with the release of DnD 3.5 or maybe the effect that RPG's have on various sub-cultures. Or maybe......ahhh I got nothin'. Lovely script however
Presented by Merric, the Dreamer-Minstrel, at great cost to his sanity...
THE TRANSLATION!!!
"When taking into consideration the balance issues inherent in the design process as role-playing games, and D&D in particular is and was developed one has to wonder in comparison to mechanics and stat blocks."
It has been found that balancing mechanics and stat-blocks is easier than balancing the role-playing side of things.
"With everyone in the know there needs to be more or less the same rationale of thought and that goes without saying."
Everyone has to work together and in the same direction to pull this revision off successfully.
" Many agree or think otherwise."
They may argue about this point, however.
"Much of the debate on sides that are ill-defined or inconceivable to not only the average player but generally the en masse flexibility of both the in-crowd and other parts of several independently."
However, only the true initiate can truly understand the work that goes into balancing D&D - and D&D 3.5E in particular. Most people just don't know enough to fully appreciate what we do. Thus, official WotC staff are in the best position to make the decisions for the future of 3.5E.
"I'm not in a position with all of the hubbub and inuendo that is often the case in situations where circumstances are vague or fuzzy without proper definitions and clear delineation."
There are a lot of rumours around, but I can't comment on rumours, especially when I don't know what they are or they are not stated clearly. I couldn't comment on them anyway due to company policy.
"So several of the topics, vis-a-vis the broken Ranger, the spells such as harm, resurection, the various summon effects and their ilk, and a number of the magical items that most people have mentioned in passing or in particular. "
These rumours include what we are going to do about the "broken" Ranger, the spells harm and resurrection, the various summon spells, and a number of magical items.
"With all of the discussion being bandied about and put forth as either rumor or in the brief snippets of information being either leaked through official channels or perhaps teased to the public to gain a forthcoming of thought among those who may or may not be interested in the future of the hobby as it stands to date."
People may be able to get an idea of what is going on by listening to rumours or those bits of officially leaked information, thus gaining insight into the future of D&D.
"Shazizzle?"
Do you want an icy-pole?
Cheers!
