For me this is close to the middle, but I also am of the (seemingly rare) opinion that Dragon had a very long and sustained period of...

As a New Yorker, every city needs a New Jersey; a designated "other" who represents the antithesis of their urban culture.

I've pretty much done that. In 1974 it started as a castle and small town. PCs were locals. Every time I moved (college, jobs, etc.) or...
