Coincidentally, all the ones you DIDN'T work on were my least favorites. Can't wait for Dragon Age, so I must purchase this novel to tide me over! Oh, and I love that little Planescape: Torment quip.

I've been working in the game industry and I am about to embark in the process of writing a novel as well - so it's nice to read about the obstacles you have overcome. David,
