I've been a long time lurker here and, while I don't always agree with what you say (I've a long running 3.X campaign and dabbled successfully in 4th Ed, so sometimes talks like "is the Thief relevant?" come across as a bit surreal to me ;-) ) I've always enjoyed popping in every so often and your posts can get me thinking.<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll continue to share your thoughts with us.<BR/><BR/>George QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-89766112113978386822009-03-31T10:45:00.000-04:002009-03-31T10:45:00.000-04:00When are you going on tour James?Don't think I hav...<I>When are you going on tour James?</I><BR/><BR/>Don't think I haven't considered it. :)James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-12690101743541845772009-03-31T10:42:00.000-04:002009-03-31T10:42:00.000-04:00You are the Gygax of RPG bloggers, James.That's hi...<I>You are the Gygax of RPG bloggers, James.</I><BR/><BR/>That's high praise and I'll accept it in the spirit in which it was intended, but I do not consider myself Gary's equal when it comes to contributing to this hobby -- but then who is?James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-39094690816021396402009-03-31T03:15:00.000-04:002009-03-31T03:15:00.000-04:00I just want to say that I am a huge fan and avid f...I just want to say that I am a huge fan and avid follower of your blog.

That's been one of the unexpected delights of this blog for me. <BR/><BR/>But what I like best is the unapologetic, but always humane and very real intellectualism. Because this is a thinking game. Somewhere I heard an intellectual defined as someone who is "interested in everything-- and nothing else." And I really appeciate how this blog brings out all the ideas and maybe even better the half-ideas that are in D&D. <BR/><BR/>James, when are you going on tour?Brian (brian_cooper at hotmail d o t com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02805168206752602148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-56447869635551866822009-03-30T21:34:00.000-04:002009-03-30T21:34:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brian (brian_cooper at hotmail d o t com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02805168206752602148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-70844711940368659762009-03-30T20:57:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:57:00.000-04:00Cheers!

This was the first blog I started reading when I started my own return to the idea of playing RPGs, and it has not only been one of the best, but spawned my interest in waaaaaay too many other blogs and associations (as my recent sky-high Lulu bill will attest 8l ).
