People talk about Gygaxian prose being abstruse and difficult to understand. I just can't see it. Listen, I work in a field in which people can write sentences which go "Yet despite its veiled presence in various facets of legal pluralism, both at the theoretical level and in praxis, political power has been ill-defined, and, more challengingly, rather ill-conceptualized; although studies in legal pluralism have referred to issues concerning what State law and law generally are, the concept of what power is and where it lies in de-centred or poly-centred legal settings has been underdeveloped," and they're not even joking.
Compared to some of these idiots who call themselves 'academics', Gygax was a veritable Oscar Wilde.
