Please note that, according to the flowchart, not being exposed to D&D early in life took you too sunlight and then girls.

Admit it, it's both funny and accurate.

Heheh funny chart, and nice op-ed.

You can always count on a Wired magazine contributor to use a cool word like "pastiche". How PoMo. Jameson would be proud.

Aye, I kinda raised an eybrow at that one, too. Still overall, one of the best articles I've ever seen in mainstream media about D&D.
Finally.
Thanks for posting this Scooter.
