This piece is just amazing! I think we should do all of our theme weeks in a "style" sort of thing, it just ties everything together really well!

3nd3r, there are a number of topics you can write on. S.C.S. like the recent Hana Kami article, something about the Art of Magic, something about casual Kitchen Table gaming, combos, rumors, etc, etc. Pick a topic and submit your article to me or DBB. We'll post it in the guild and get back to you with more information.

Sheer brilliance, lad. But I'm sure you don't need me to say that... just look at everyone else's articles.

I really enjoyed this. I don't frequent many areas of the forums, and it was nice to get to know a bit more about the members of the writers guild. Heck, I couldn't have named everyone in it until now. I look forward to the rest of this week. Kudos to whoever's idea it was.
