But lucky I didn meet Knight Errant J. R.
I thought it was Junior, too, until I saw his real name.  |

Heh . . . EVERYBODY does that . . . the funny thing was that at the Pathfinder rounds, Nick Logue was so used to my screen name that he called me "Knight" or "Knight Errant" the whole con, and Josh Frost called me JR the whole time.
I take complete responsibility, but I thought that "KnightErrantJRwhichismyinitialsandnotjunior" was a bit long for a screen name . . . although it might have worked for the DL boards since I could have passed it off as a gnomish name . . . |

I generally just think of you as "Knight". 
"KnightErrantJ.R." would have avoided that confusion, as would "Knight Errant J.R." But maybe that's too simple. |

The biggest secret of the Realms I learned that day... Kuje pronouces his screen name Coo-gee.
...and Ghost King is a Cadderly novel.
...and I found out I was approved to write Ecology of the Sharn
...and I still don't have a copy of the FRCG  |

Congrats on the Sharn article!
If in doubt of your author copies, there are surprisingly affordable deals on the FRCG/FRPG combo on Amazon.com (@$45US for both), Brian. |

It was pretty funny when the slide showed the preview of the article, and they asked you about about it and you responded that you guessed the article was approved since it was in the slide show . . . |

I forgot that Rich said Ghost King brings toether whats left of the "drizzt characters" and the "cadderly characters", I will actually look forward to that to see how he does it. And who's left.
Brian - Great job jumping up and securing that article!!
Do you need another proofreader?
and
Kuje - the scribe formerly know as Kuje, I will hence forth type Coo-gee!! |

Neat. I've been pronouncing it correctly then. |

| I've always been known as Kuje and didn't know there was a wrong way to pronouce it.... since it's half of my last name but with an E at the end.... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Another secret just revealed...
Neri's hat was indeed a +3 hat of female repelling.
I think he wears it to give himself a buffer from all the chicks he would normally attract without it! |

I still prefer sourcebooks. Much better for me personally. |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

I have to admit, that bit made me laugh.
