Anyone heard of Ms. Mazzanoble before?

 

[Crothian]

Never heard of her

I feel that the name of the book is sort of a bad Idea and will be seen as a negative by any Christian seeing that title. (My self being a christian and knowing the fallout calling someone a sorceress can cause.)

Anyone heard of Ms. Mazzanoble before?

Apparently she is a Seattle writer with a pretty lousy love life...

 

[Garnfellow]

Never heard of her

Me either, but Google turns up several interesting pieces floating around the web. Sounds like she's got no gaming industry creds, but lots of freelance writing pieces. The two articles I read were pretty good -- hip, irreverent, funny. Sounds like she could be a welcome change of pace from the usual dorkisphere perspective. And now I know what to get the gal in my Monday night game for her birthday!

Anyone who would be offended by the title isn't going to be buying D&D products anyway.

Google doesn't bring up much.

Well, Sorceror is a core class, so I don't see any getting around that.

She's obviously not following the WOTC style guide, in which a character is referred to as "Sorcerer" regardless of sex.

She's obviously not following the WOTC style guide, in which a character is referred to as "Sorcerer" regardless of sex.

A style guideline that I'm sure was created by Adkinson/Wotc to avoid sexism turning off female players. But, apparently, an actual woman likes to be called a "sorceress" in a game.

hmmm....
