It's a nice link but as I knew most of it already there's no need to add it. 
I would query their understanding of kobolds.
Encyclopedia Mythica says kobolds: "are tricksters and not inherently evil."
and
The Encyclopedia of Arda says that in Germany: "miners are helped by friendly burrowing 'kobolds,'" |

I'm going to have to add that to my list of links, too. |

I felt the same as I read Vance's stories... I seem to recall that Ed even "ripped" Archveult's name from one of them. |

Well, I am about four books from Three hearts and Three Lions on my reading list, but from everything I have heard and based on my impression of Anderson from The Broken Sword, it would be worth reading. |

Has anyone read Three hearts and Three Lions? I'm starting to think I should since it's mentioned so much |

I came across that before, but wasn't able to find it when I went looking for it again recently. Thank you for posting it, I was sure to book-mark it this time.

Great link, may use it as a reference if I ever hear someone go on about how D&D is mostly (if not totally) based on the works of Tolkien. |
