E. Gary Gygax. Oh, and I'd give him 50.1% of the company while I was at it. And complete creative control of Greyhawk, superceding all previous agreements. :D --Ghul

Quite true. Look at Hollywood for example. They save their quality written projects for the last two months of the year, so as to capture the attention of all the awards ceremonies; however, they produce drivel for the other ten months that is aimed largely at a teen-age audience. These days...

Greetings sir, Just a few observations, followed by a question: Stephen King has told us in his "On Writing" book that it is a little disheartening to think that, in the minds of many readers, his finest work was The Stand, especially considering the fact that he wrote it over 20 years or so...
