The fact that you lend such insight to that conversation is what keeps me coming back to your blog. Now I know not only that I love the old-school games, but have a better understanding of why.<br /><br />Congrats, and keep up the great work!<br /><br />- Pat KilbanePat Kilbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565720385635446701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-43482780717380714692010-01-24T20:50:55.715-05:002010-01-24T20:50:55.715-05:00Congratulations James, I attribute your blog as on...Congratulations James, I attribute your blog as one of the elements that lead me back to the hobby of D&D, it was the gateway that allowed my to see that there are other "mature" ie older people who still have an interest in gaming. It also has allowed me to learn about authors whom I had never heard of, and probably would never have heard of either. <br /> This blog has also been a jump off point for me to many of the other insiteful and well written blogs out there. So not only do I think you deserve it, but I want to say thank-you. Without your well written words, and creative ideas, my re-entry into d&d would have probably started and ended with a short 4ed game I played a year and a half ago.Regamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568470239734853393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-53901974434984378292010-01-24T19:41:16.293-05:002010-01-24T19:41:16.293-05:00Congratulations!

Hopefully you can eventually get rich off this ride like he did with aintitcoolnews.com.<br /><br />You have a big following, and are read by admirer's of your musings, those you have inspired (I count myself as both of those), those who heartily disagree with you often, and even the occasional butt-kissing sycophants who think you can say no wrong (where are ya, Clovis?). Your writings attract a pretty diverse group.<br /><br />You're a smart dude, your writing keeps improving exponentially, and you have a lot to say about gaming stuff that takes us somewhat older folk way back to yesteryear (not real old, but y'know, fortyish...).<br /><br />And you can take criticism pretty well which is a rare ability and a good way to be a success. Even after some fun-poking and ball-busting from me a time or two, you invited me to be a Facebook pal, which proves you are a pretty good Canadian dude to boot. Keep at it, and I'm sure your name will pop up in even more non-game media in the future.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-27232363047778299802010-01-24T09:41:21.014-05:002010-01-24T09:41:21.014-05:00Congratulations, James.Congratulations, James.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-70804565743534804042010-01-24T09:32:30.863-05:002010-01-24T09:32:30.863-05:00Well deserved, indeed, James--congrats!Well deserved, indeed, James--congrats!Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895162509374846630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-88172873890024884182010-01-24T06:19:56.742-05:002010-01-24T06:19:56.742-05:00Gongrats!!!Gongrats!!!Brooser Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487438364129415650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-79118839201709216172010-01-24T06:14:07.775-05:002010-01-24T06:14:07.775-05:00A deserved accolade!A deserved accolade!satyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479802116614818015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-33333304449226877112010-01-24T02:36:28.549-05:002010-01-24T02:36:28.549-05:00Congradulations James,
