<t>Yep, I live barely a mile from the castle, near Barrow Hill (or Barry Bonk, as we know it; a 300 my-old volcano remnant, with deep quarries hacked out of it in the 19th century that made impromptu LARPS involving the Caves of Chaos all the more realistic when I was a nipper).<br/> <br/> The Crook...

<t>I must say, the new PHB art is very good. I never thought I'd see something better than that poor afflicted knight, but this does it. Just a pity I got a 3rd print not long ago; the quality of these books means that It'll be quite a while before I need another one.<br/> <br/> As for the M&T, ...

<t>I like green. I prefer a darker, holly-green or racing green, but green is good. Green is calming. It is rich, verdant, viridian and probably a few other things beginning with "v".<br/> <br/> I still prefer the old look, but these are growing on me a bit. I'm sure that when I come to replace my c...
