Great article. It was good to hear what was going on when, especially
for those of us who've always been on the fringes (no pun intended!). Also
good to get some background on the "Roleplaying = evil" take. Now I can talk
about it more effectively. As a Christian, there are some parts of
Roleplaying I'm less comfortable with, but that doesn't invalidate the field
(duh!).
Nitpicks:
- It'd be nice to have a date of publication
- There were a couple of bits of text that looked strange (at least
under Mozilla 1.0.2). They said:
"Athenian Heights"
"The big 4"
- There's one bit where it says "D?icemaster"
:)
