[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5457258, member: 29398"] WotC. They then wrecked the whole process by self-censoring the results, in that they threw out all responses from anyone over an arbitrary age limit - I think it was 35. There's an article from that time by Ryan Dancey still floating around out there that gives the specifics, I don't have a link right now. I have to agree with this, having myself in the past flown by the seat of my pants into just such a situation only on a much smaller scale - I wasn't paying attention while dreaming up a dungeon completely on the fly and ended up having to pull some pretty fancy explanations out of my butt once it became obvious that the room they were standing in was, by the quite accurate players' map, in mid-air 20' outside the castle wall and 30' above the moat. D'oh! Sounds good! Where do I sign up? :) Lan-"can I play the evil brain eating space alien?"-efan [/QUOTE]
