Bill."It's my hope that the sheer abundance of dragonborn will reduce the amount that the DM expects me to crap myself when I have the audacity to not prostrate myself before his scaly avatar.Also, the <a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/12436.html" target="_blank">Warhammer Online Trailer</a> is awesome.  Watch it.</blockquote>
