[QUOTE="vulcan_idic, post: 3028775, member: 19615"] I apologize if my offer was percieved as an attempt to sideline you. This was not the intent. Going back to one of your earlier comments where you said, "As I've already mentioned in this thread and in Dragon Magazine, if some people want that in their fantasy, I'm perfectly happy. I'm certainly not some authority to manage your fun and I don't want to be." In that spirit I thought perhaps working together we could find a way for you to get what makes D&D fun for you and to enjoy the game while at the same time helping you to achieve your goal of not being someone who manages the fun of others. This is why I was hoping you could provide us with your definition of fantasy. If we had your concrete definition of what fantasy was for you we could help you fullfill that. A definition of Fantasy that is an end all and be all I think is impossible at best, due to each individual having their own idea of what comprises fantasy and what is right out - and as you say none of us are authorities to dictate or manage other individuals definitions of what fantasy is because it is something so dependent upon point of view. And I do agree with you that I fear we shall have to agree to disagree on the issue as a whole as both viewpoints seem to be entrenched far too deeply to avail further discussion much good - no matter what arguments Danny Alcatraz and Hussar, and others produce, your opinion will not change. And no matter what evidences you produce it seems obvious to me that those others are unlikely to ever agree with you. In any event this entire discussion, while and interesting academic issue, has little or nothing to do with why Dwarves Don't Sell Novels. To sum up - if you can provide a concrete definition of you want from this discussion and/or a concrete definition of what you think fantasy should be, then perhaps we can help you find what you want and or achieve your goal. If this is impossible then perhaps we could agree do disagree or move the discussion to a move aptly named thread. [/QUOTE]
