Dark Age of Camelot: "Sylvan Irony"
Posted: Monday September 26th, 2005

Mythic invited me out to the Dark Age of Camelot Las Vegas Roundtable this weekend, and the keynote speaker opening the event was one of the co-creators of the original Dungeons & Dragons, Dave Arneson.
Mr. Arneson spoke at length about the value of character development, and playing a "role"/roleplaying. Near the end of his speach he delivered a quote very much like the one in today's comic. What amused me about the quote is that there IS a race of "wooden people stomping around". They're called Sylvans, basically they look like tree people: bark for skin; leaves for hair; etc. etc. etc.
I just couldn't pass up the opportunity for a ready made joke such as that.

Well, I'm back and I'm tired. I'll write up a full review of the event when I stir from my coma.
