    Has Lovecraft become required reading?

    I'll support this!:) But I'm one of those old fools who believes that knowledge is a good thing, in and of itself.

    Drizzt Do'Urden to Become Free Agent???

    You're all too conventional. He's signing on with Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl. Everybody knows that's where the big bucks are.:o And his panther can keep the undead monkey in line.

    Rob Heinsoo's tenure at WotC - a fan's tribute

    I've been a player of this game since its earliest days. As I grew older (and grayer), I also grew more involved in my own profession. Less and less time was available for D&D. Each Edition came ... and went. I found things to enjoy in every Edition and played a reasonable amount of each...

    Happy Birthday, young man.:) May you roll only 20s on this day of days.

    Wizards in 4E have been 'neutered' argument...

    There's wisdom here. This (especially that final sentence) might well be true. Not for everybody, but for a lot of folks. Too bad, really.

    Perhaps some sort of genuine artillery type? A bomb and potion thrower??

    Gamers in the Workforce

    I'm a scientist, man. I'm also a former military officer (retiree). But that choice wasn't present.;)

    Dragon Con: A Sight of the Schism in action

    Mature? Debatable ... Old? Yep.;) Of course, if I could figure out all that status-y stuff ... and learn to enjoy it ... could be different.
