I am an "Advancement Driven Player," aka "addicted to the ding." Levels, skill numbers, whatever the character advancement mechanic is in the game I'm playing, I always seek to see that go UP up UP! The problem is, the scales are never linear. When… more »

How's that for an interesting collection of unrelated hashtags!? Well, that's what happens when you blog about everything you're doing, rather than focusing on one subject. ;)I haven't written much lately, mainly because there hasn't been a lot to w… more »
