Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when people bashed Unforgotten Realms for changing genres and trying to take itself more seriously. I knew that UR was maturing, and I honestly like where it's going because it's more apt to reel in more mainstream RPG fans while still having a bit of the comedic feel to it. People hating it because "its boring" and "its not like it used to be" is really selfish and, quite frankly, kind of stupid. Please, Rob, continue with Unforgotten Realms as you see fit. I like the direction you're taking it, and I can appreciate the epic in-jokes without them being thrown right in your face all of the time.
But I'm curious...what was the Dragon Warrior aiming at? Usually the "I wasn't aiming at you" line is followed by a lot of ricocheting day-saving awesome, so I'm thinking it might be a signal headed for the Tower of Ultimate Wizardry. What it actually is, we'll find out next Thursday.
