Gary,
I've been enjoying D&D for going on fifteen years or so now, so I just want to start out by saying thanks for bringing it into this world. It's always been a great creative outlet that I've found invaluable in learning writing and reading skills. I think the fact that D&D involves so much reading is nearly directly responsible for my above-average english skills throughout middle and high school.
Aside from that thanks, I also want to say thank you for spending some time here with us. I haven't had any questions to ask, but I'm eagerly checking this thread daily to see the new responses you've posted; I appreciate your time, thanks!
And finally, you've sold me on trying Lejendary Adventures. My brother owns a game store up here in Canada, so I'm going to have him order me a copy and check it out. Rules-light is what I love. Right now, we play an almost rules-free CoC campaign, which we're all particularly enjoying (including three new roleplayers!), so I'm eager to see if LA can give me a great rules-light fantasy setting.
Anyhow, I guess I'll finish with one question, just to keep in the spirit of the thread: Obviously when it comes to a completed manuscript you type on the computer. However, I'm wondering if you do a lot of 'idea work', brainstorming, etc. in handwritten form? I find I write a lot better on paper than on the computer espciallywhen composing from my imagination. Have you found that the advent of computer technology has greatly benefited you as a creative worker, or that its had not too much of an affect at all?
I know you've said its your pleasure to respond here, but, once again, thanks so much!
