Wow, just bloody damm wow.

It's hard to explain to just what an impact D&D has had on my life...  To the point where literally I don't think I'd be the same person.  Most of the people other than family I fly home to see in North Carolina?  I met them because of gaming.  Many of you here know my friend Chuck ("Charles the Plain Spoken")?  Ditto.

Heck, it was the two guys in my senior year in high school who introduced me to D&D who solidified my vague notion of going into the Navy into a firm intention.  (And those same two guys were with me at the funeral I flew home to attend in September.)

(I originally had a much longer entry, then accidentally deleted it.  This will have to suffice.)
