Magic: The Gathering has been getting new editions for more than ten years, and every single one comes with a few new rules, and a ton of weird special cases that need arbitrary rulings. Any other disputes should be settled by loud arguments among the players, with the owner of the game having the last word", only adding to the chaos that is Munchkin. The arguments center on whether the benefits of gaining levels are too much, too little, or just right. The Rule Book for Arguments is a very nice shorthand version of the argumentation chapters to be found in ponderous debate textbooks. "A Rulebook for Arguments" is a succinct introduction to the art of writing and assessing arguments, organised around specific rules, each illustrated and explained soundly but briefly. The core rule books for 4th Edition is 450 pages long with only 10 devoted to the vaguely defined Multiverse setting. Check out “A Rulebook for Arguments” (4th edition) by Anthony Weston 2009. It is basic, to-the-point, and I just got a copy of the new edition (4th). Disciplines for writers who seek straightforward guidance about how to assess arguments and how to cogently construct them. This 4th edition offers a revamped and more tightly focused approach to extended arguments, a new chapter on oral arguments, and updated examples and topics throughout. There's a sense I've graphed the "automatic" attack bonuses that fighters gained in early editions of the game (OD&D in 1974, AD&D in 1979, and D&D Basic/Expert in 1981) along with 4th Edition (2008). I believe that's because it goes directly to the heart of what a D&D character is at its most fundamental: a list of numbers and situation-based alterations to the rules. That the latter is by a USA teacher should surely help us British to become adequate in our use of of own English and now worldwide language ? I recently reread A Rulebook for Arguments the 4th edition, and since then, in day-to-day conversations, watching TV and reading blogs at Talking philosophy, I have been painfully aware of many examples of bad arguing.
