[QUOTE="StupidSmurf, post: 2546220, member: 35893"] Pffft. ;) Don't worry about it. Shooting from the hip is preferable to butt-kissing ANY day. And besides, that's your opinion. Anything a writer comes up with is going to have some people saying "This is the greatest thing since sliced bread" and others saying "This material is solid proof that God hates us all." Some folks I know thought Name of the Game was the best of a bad lot. Others thought it stunk to high heaven. What can you do? And while obviously I like getting compliments on my material, I'm a lot more gratified when the compliments refer to my later stuff (like Four From Cormyr, Stealth & Style, or my sections of Coruscant and the Core Worlds), than my earlier writings, done when admittedly I was less experienced of a writer. I honestly have no idea what the rationale behind Castle Greyhawk was, or why it was. Was it supposed to be some mean-spirited swipe at Gary Gygax? Damn, I hope not. I'd hate to think that I joined in on a group-insult to the man. Fact is, I got the assignment, had a few whiskey sours, looked around my study and saw the plethora of RPGs stare back at me, and thought "I know what to write about now..."
