The Desert Mermaid

I loved Phil Plait's science/imagination article when I first read it. I like what you say about creative playing within the rules, too -- I was trying so hard to explain to my boyfriend the other night why I prefered creative modification to a few simple classes instead of being able to draw on thirty variant rulebooks.

Granted, the fact that I was having that conversation pretty much proves the whole nerd thing, regardless of which side I was arguing.
