The point is, ultimately, that even if the creator is 100% aware of everything that went into the work (and, frankly, no human being is that self-aware), each and every reader brings their own interpretation to the work and sees things in it which the creator may not have intended - but, since...

Yes, I will be subscribing. Dragon alone is worth the trivial subscription price.

Glass houses, Claudio. Glass houses.

3 stars. Obviously still finding its feet, but by now a solid offering to which I'm definitely interested in subscribing.

I've never been drunk, and don't drink very often. The one time I did deliberately take public transport to and from a party in case I did drink enough to be smashed, I didn't drink enough . . . so, I don't know. I guess it just doesn't excite me, the thought of being drunk. What I do drink, I...

I think that album is the same as this one on Amazon: Amazon.com: Musique de la Grece Antique: Greek Anonymous, Gregorio Paniagua, Madrid Atrium Musicae: Music which has samples, and you can buy MP3s. Sounds pretty interesting to me. Of course, the first album I bought as MP3s from Amazon was...

I voted that I would both play in and run a Fourth Edition game. I also voted that I would play in a 3e/3.5e game, but that's not strictly true. I would be much more leery of playing in a Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons game (from the point of view that I'd much rather play Fourth Edition)...

It's a decent podcast, but they need to drop a) the "in-character" bits, and b) the faux-questioning way they discuss things. You know, like "Really? As an elf, I can use a longsword, no matter what class I am?"

I like 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction in the "general gaming" category, among others.

Personally, I say "jeh-NAH-see". The "jeh" could also sound like "juh", depending on how it comes out of my mouth.

Americans shouldn't be allowed to decide how things are pronounced - your accents don't allow for enough range! I kid. But, srsly. The "as" in "genasi" rhymes with the "oss" in "cross"? Those are different vowel sounds, you lunatic Texan! ;)

I have to preface my answers with a statement: I don't have a single "gaming group" the way some people do. The people I game with are drawn from among my social circle in general, people of ages varying from 20 to 30 or so. I met all of these people through university - the gaming club SUTEKH...

Like there's anything, at this point, that they could do to make you happy.

For sure. I mean, Dragonlance isn't to my taste at all anymore - but when I was that age, I quite literally tried to read and own every Dragonlance book. I did end up with several dozen before I lost interest.

Twelve! (I kid because, between the ages of 10 and about 15, I loved.)

The irony being, of course, that Dragonlance was different from the "same Tolkien-ish fantasy" by Eighties standards. I mean, no orcs? Lithe, kleptomaniac kender instead of homey, rotund hobbits^Whalflings? Dragon-men as common opponents and dragonriders serving both Good and Evil? Tinker gnomes...

Kinda doubt Wizards of the Coast is going to make decisions about their product lines based on what will keep Third Edition holdouts happy.

I burn all the podcasts I listen to onto CDs and listen to them in the car. It helps that I have an hour-long drive to and from work, and that my radio antenna was snapped off by a jerk a while back, of course, but I find it works well. Of course, I find that I need my mind occupied by...

I own the core books. I converted my Pathfinder Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path game over to Fourth Edition as soon as possible, but the game ended for two reasons: one of the players left Australia to study for his PhD at M.I.T., and I had become increasingly dissatisfied with the quality...

I started with the Red Box D&D Basic Set, then moved on to Second Edition AD&D primarily because that's what was connected to Dragonlance at the time (1991). When Third Edition came out, I was very happy to move on to it, and then the revised Third Edition rules a few years later. Now, my D&D...
