[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3471473, member: 4134"] That's actually decent advice. Although those incidents with some D&D nut going and killing coworkers with a self-made sword (actually happened a couple of years ago, though in that case it was because that coworker relentlessly harassed him about his obsession) are very rare, they do happen. As you said: It's enough for a single guy who was a fanatic collector of either Dragon or Dungeon and does think this is not just equal to losing a fellow human, but worse. If you consider how enraged the normal people here are, think about what such a fanatic's reaction will be. As much as I dislike Wizards right now, I don't wish them to become the stage for something along the lines of the Virginia Tech Massacre. Real comforting: The self-proclaimed disciple of Orcus will protect them. That would make me sleep with a gun under my pillow - as a follower of the alleged creator of Undeath, that Nightfall person will probably think "If they're dead, nothing can happen to them any more" and will all slaughter them in their sleep to raise them as zombies. ;) :p Come on, that's not fair. While I don't like sycophants and hopeless fanboys, Nightfall is hardly one. His stuff does make sense: Quiet down so the WotC guys will set foot outside again, and maybe start talking. Yes, I read that (this happens to be the only thread on the Wizards boards that is really worthy of attention.) Really, Rich gives a good example on how Wizards in general should handle things.(I'm speaking about FR here, not necessarily about his specific responses to the current situation): He (and a couple of other people, but mostly Rich) will answer Forgotten Realms related questions there. On Wizards own message boards. While others forsake the Wizards boards and go elsewhere, they take the time and answer our questions. [/QUOTE]
