"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"

You have now entered the realm of the LORD OF THE GREEN DRAGONS -- a "Classic Gaming" blog.
I just got the "hahaha" response from theprincesswife on that one. If I post this on facebook, I will have many women in the family giving me that look.
I'd like to add the "TURN HERE!!!!" scream when you're already 50' past the exit that they somehow wanted to take, even though there's a shorter way...
Hee-hee. Naw. I take breaks in my 14-16 hour day, don't yah know...
In fact right now I'm playing with some dice and fidgeting with another post and considering a sandwich in between. Plus there are the MAPS! You must draw the MAPS!! I said MAPS!!!... ;) Plus the illo list! If you draw too many MAPS you'll never get to the ILLO LIST!! Oh my God! Where will we find more TIME!? You're always behind, every time I look! Then there's the writing. You are a writer aren't you?! WRITE! Forget the other parts! Who will write if you don't? Ghost writers?! :)
