What I can't work out is whether the original poster, this Lord Kimboat fellow, is joking or not. I mean, his argument sounds deliberately far-fetched, the sort of thing
alatar comes up with. I thought that he was being tongue-in-cheek with the bit about Gandalf hardly using magic ... but as some people have suggested, maybe the guy
really does think D&D is universal.
Is he just an idiot? Or has he successfully pulled our collective leg?*
*so to speak.
