[QUOTE="jasamcarl, post: 1696289, member: 1251"] Now you are just being stupid. Almost all fantasy and pulp sci-fi see their resolution through a show of heroic strength..if i were to reduce the entirey of LotR's background to insignificance and call out a single spell by Gandalf as proof of munchkinism, i would perfectly set within the bounds of your stupid argument. Oh, but you are one of those 'fantasy' fans who couldn't care less about actual fantasy; you would instead enjoy if the author had spend 300 pages justifying and extrapolating every background detail to the point where the reader's reaction of "How could this be?", the underlying instinct that fantasy is suppossed to evoke, is squashed into to ultimatly shaky 'rationality'. But I might have missed out on all that fantasy which features storekeepers going over the books..let me go reread some Homer, i'm sure it was there. And even if we are talking reality, coercion is a driving force behind almost all social relations. But then, I would guses that your historical knowledge is actually quite limited and it is just a pretense to condemn everything you don't dig or even understand as munchkinism. Or you are *gasp* a troll. What you are essentialy saying though is that you bought a book full of fluff that you now condemn because it doesn't mind lock a group into using that ramming said fluff down players' throats..foolish. I'm about to be called out on this, most likely, so if you would like to avoid a public thrashing, feel free to email me at: [email]jasamcarl@hotmail.com[/email] Oh and have a nice day. :) [/QUOTE]
