Thanks for all the kind words!
Sadly, I think I really am about done with this thread. I know, I know, "The Monster at the End of this Book/Thread/Module" is just begging to be written, but I am working on some other projects now (no, not halfling ninjas. Go check out Dr. Midnight's excellent Jedi Ewok--there's reallly very little more to be said, and I can't do it better. Or just go out to watch Yoda in action again in AotC. Omigosh.)
Please feel free to keep commenting though. I do check in to gloat every so often, and it matters to me immensely that you are out there. It makes it all worthwhile.
Perhaps it will motivate me to start a new thread, when I wrap up current other non-Enworld relevant projects . . .
