(At least if you're planning to share it here, it would seem wise.) [Just to be clear, this is a caution, not an accusation.]And try not to fall into the trap of hubris and snark. It's dreadfully easy to do on the internet, it really is, but it just doesn't do anyone any good.If your insight isn't important, that's a conclusion you've drawn on your own. (Although I'd hazard a guess that it isn't a conclusion you've come to at all, so your motives in that statement are, well... not hard to estimate.)If you want to have a discussion on truth destroying "fiction and maybe gaming" though, Prestidigitalis is right in that General Discussion is likely the place to do so.If you have specific opinions relating that idea to fourth edition D&D though, feel free to share them in 4e Discussion within the initial post of a thread unambiguously about that.</blockquote>
