This page archives various pieces that have been written over the years, most of them attempts to explain or defend the finer points of the league’s befuddling labyrinth of rules, some of them just “fun stuff”. When the volume of these individual pieces threatened to make the menu on the left extend a mile down the page, I realized some reorganization was in order.

Sometimes one GM will ask me a question, and I'll write him an answer, and then a different GM will ask me the same or almost the same question two years later, and I’ll have to write the same answer again two years later, because I didn’t save the first one. Among other things, this page is an attempt to store those answers so I only have to write them once.
