[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 6315289, member: 18"] I know the value of that particular kind of lecture, and I know it's relatively low for most pupils. I also don't buy that what they thought were "typical tasks" are actually "typical", and as they admitted, they have no proof whatsoever as to whether they were. Which as I said, makes the study largely unscientific. I don't buy it. No good DM resembles a lecture. Yes, a truly terrible DM will have similar problems to a lecture, but he's got a lot of problems, and "people with laptops" are not near the top of the list.] A better comparison would be people bringing laptops to one of those sessions with the tutor where you have a group of people and discuss stuff (I cannot for the life of me remember the term of this). I'm not sure what a "laptopper" is, but given I don't use a laptop at gaming sessions (too heavy to drag around), I presume I'm not one. You brought up the study and by saying that it is relevant, you are making yourself responsible for it, specifically for explaining how it is relevant, something you have made pretty much no attempt to do (assertions are not explanations). I'll leave it there, as you clearly don't want to discuss it, but I don't think there's much relevance to our hobby. :) I will ask if you could link me to proof that the journal is peer-reviewed, though. I checked the site again and could find no evidence to that effect, but it's entirely possible that I'm missing it. RC is a physical product, not digital.

That's my concern with 5E - that it will get the errata it gets, not the errata it needs (I agree that it will be less vital than 4E, but I think it's going to be more vital than other editions).
