[QUOTE="giggles, post: 6372538, member: 6779372"] You've got me now. You have so got me on that page count point! God! Why didn't I bring up page count in the first place?! If I had, then I would have secured my position that two rule books of comparable size and scope and detail could not possibly be written under different philosophies of rules interpretation--though they certainly could be marketed differently... Ah! My position would have been secure against all assault, if only I had thought to refer to pages, too, rather than let poundage stand for--ach, it doesn't matter. I retreat under the weight of resin. Maybe I'll go over to that Beastmaster thread in which somebody posted a Twitter exchange with Mearls, in which Mearls clarified a rule, which exchange proves that, in a rulings over rules system, you don't need to get clarifications from the designers to play D&D right. The last we'll hear from Mike Mearls on that count! Of course, all of this is moot, because the DMG remains unreleased (probably because,in good, old fashioned, old school, rulings over rules proportions, it'll run to 650 pages or, roughly, five pounds, depending, of course, on the kind and amount of the resin).
