Hehe. I remember whenever I met anyone from out of town who'd been to UD, they'd be like "kind of funny they put it right in the middle of that ghetto, isn't it?" A lot of the people gentrifying that neighborhood are my old classmates from the 'burbs. Seems to be the hot thing right now, moving...

At 22, definitely don't say "very experienced" too loudly at an interview. :) I did three internships, and all of them paid (ranging from "barely" to "hey, I think I'll go out and buy an electric bass today"), but that first one really required turning over some stones. The other two basically...

Information Systems Technology? Check around with local small businesses. They often like to get part-time interns of the computer jockey kind. And yah, a sub-baccalaureate internship isn't going to pay a whole lot. Definitely avoid the acronym "IST" - nobody's going to know what that is...

I just grew up there.

That can usually be inferred by whether or not they return the naked pictures of yourself that you include in the submission.

I suspect that would be that one who's now a Late Famous Fantasy Author. She seemed prickly as an editor, but I did respect her clear thinking on the nature of literary taste. I recall reading their guidelines and thinking, "nah, not even worth the stamp." If I'd known they marked up the MSS, I...

That's funny. All I got back was an envelope full of ashes. Maybe it's my pen name - does "Rose Estes" sound too corny?

In 3E, never higher than 10th. The highest level ever in any game, relative to its usual power levels, may have been a DC Heroes campaign in which we used alternative rules from a Dragon article called "A Little Less Super," which was supposed to reign in out-of-control character advancement...

Charlemagne said the same thing about his empire. :)

I think they're considered to be advanced halflings.

Actually, I believe this plot first appeared in Puccini's "Il Giorno Senza Coda," which was inspired by a particularly complex score in which the composer neglected to include a coda for the repeats.

Yeah, but it's a RARE copy.

Two suns, rather like the old Chinese creation myth.

The Romans often used foreign cavalry, though, contrary to the latest King Arthur movie, they weren't particularly knightlike. The Equites are a much better parallel, but they're a Republican phenomenon (a relic of the civilian army) that had largely disappeared by the Late Empire. Since you've...

Look at OpenRPG or WebRPG (both are at www.*.com).

Eh, I just don't get into game-fi. The writing's good enough. As long as you enjoyed writing it though, that's all that matters, IMO.

The "-strom" in "maelstrom" isn't related to "storm"/"Sturm" but rather "stream"/"Strom".

Or "Wetwrack"?
