The big tragedy of interracial relationships in D&D is lifespan differences, as this cover illustrates all too well. 50 years for a human, and you body is completely falling apart, while your elf partner has barely changed and is now more your carer than your lover. Meanwhile, you've gone through a good 4-5 generations of pet cats, and might get through one or two more before finally kicking the bucket. Let's see how well this whole topic is handled inside. Notes From HQ: Time once again to look back on last year, while planning ahead to the next. They're increasing in size again, albeit slowly, which is a good sign for the organisation as a whole, and have added yet another regional co-ordinator, this time one in Norway for the scandinavian countries as a whole. The number of submitted adventures is up too. On the negative side, this means the number of phone calls is getting to the point where it seriously impacts their productivity, so they're restricting lines to afternoon hours only. Ha. Wait until the internet gets a bit bigger and faster, then you'll truly know productivity drain in your office work. So growth brings new opportunities, such as being able to do more competitions targeted at clubs as well as individuals, but also new problems as well. If you use the same techniques you used at lower level, eventually you'll fail. Let's hope the ways they decide to change are the right ones for the situation.Letters: The first letter is from future 3e designer (and many other RPG products) Mike Selinker, talking about all the charity work the RPGA does. Gamers are as susceptible to cancer, heart attacks, (possibly even moreso due to the sedentary lifestyle) and degenerative illnesses as anyone, so raising awareness and devoting money to medical research is helping yourself in the long run. Give a little extra for a good cause next time you're at a convention with a charity event. The second is somewhat less positive. Regular correspondent Aaron Goldblatt gives his perspective on getting through Gen Con with not enough judges to go around. He had to GM 8 slots, which left him virtually no time to wander around and enjoy the convention as a spectator. He'd very much appreciate it if more people step up so he doesn't have to work to the point of exhaustion again next year. This is what happens when you're one of the hardcore few who stick with something through good times and bad. Reliability might be a virtue, but it's not a path to personal happiness.</blockquote>
