While I game when I get a chance, primarily, I'm a reader. I've got several rpgs I'll never play or play again but I still break the books out from time to time to read them.
Zhanna was a mute female thief who still actually was quite verbal despite her disability. She had many interesting adventures with our group and retired with my wizard in a platonic relationship.
I'm undecided for now but it hasn't grabbed me like OOTS did(and some others) the first time I read it. I'll give it a few more though before I totally make up my mind.
