[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8789325, member: 71699"] This reminded me of Dworkin's take on Law. He says in one place "Law is an interpretive concept. Judges should decide what the law is by interpreting the practice off other judges deciding what the law is. General theories of law, for us, are general interpretations of our own judicial practice." Later he offers a different perspective "Law's empire is defined by attitude, not territory or power or process." The space you characterise as negative is not empty. It is filled with attitudes that we have learned, frameworks for meaning, and of course meanings, and I think what the 5e game text does so successfully is [I]remind us of that attitude[/I]. The attitude we have when setting out to play D&D. This is indeed not found soley in the words on the page. One has to see both beyond them, and see how they bring what is beyond them into our grasp.
