2009. The final year of the first decade of the 21st century. Mindboggling and somewhat disquieting. Where did the years go? Where’d all these grey hairs come from? And these children?
Regardless, 2009 was a banner year for nerdy old me. Lots to keep me occupied in the 1 or 2 hours per day (week?) that [...]

I have a bit of a pet peeve when it comes to role playing games, and that’s players who concentrate only on the dots on their character sheets. Those who define their characters by what they can do, how many dice they roll, and the kewl powerz that their character has.
