[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8871801, member: 67338"] okay but I do not have the time or money to perform such, nor do I expect anyone else here to. now that is a twist... the opiniont (personal experience ancedote, local ect) is what the Zeitgeist is. My opinion of the current defining spirit or mood of D&D (that is what Zeitgeist means) is informed as much as anyone elses (you or others) on this board. We can disagree on the opinion of the current defining spirt or mood of D&D of course, but calling out that the opinion is in fact an opinion seems to be going no where. then you can share YOUR stories too... that is how discussions are normally... not "You can't PROVE your opinion so don't state it" it is much more natural to state our opinions if we disagree we can share any facts figures or personal experences that shape them, and even try to convince each other. However we may just BOTH be wrong or one be right... there isn't really a way to prove it in this limited D&D message board. again this isn't much of an argument. My store don't. Your stores don't, other peoples stores don't... BUT they are in fact the information we have. sure it does... you have YOUR opinion of the defining spirit or mood of D&D and it is informed by your personal experiences. yeah that too could be an interesting discussion. As long as we don't need to spell out that we are all talking about our own readings and opinions on the subject. Unless we are the designer or have interviewed the designer that is (but at most that is 1 or 2 of us on the board). edit: full definition in case anyone thinks I miss represented it [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*]the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time. "the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s" [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/search?[/URL] q=zeitgeist&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS1023US1023&oq=Zeitgeist&aqs=chrome.0.0i355i433i512j46i433i512j0i433i512j0i512l3j46i199i465i512j0i512l2j46i175i199i512.1509j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
