Today's main topic fascinated us. Are games considered art? We even get into the topic of how gaming itself may or may not be art. Join in the discussion. We talk some about our friends at Polymancer. They had a little car wreck, but things seem to be going well. Their magazine is certainly looking good. They also have other projects coming. We talk about D&D some, mostly to bring up the Chaos Challenge at RinCon. Many will enter; all but one will die. The last one standing wins. We ...
