And still love the writing, too. Concise, and yet elegant and beautiful at times. Wonderfully written. And tons of fun characters. I even do a Dallben voice. And a Gurgi voice, of course. Yes, I rock. And possibly appear ridiculous.<br /><br />As for me, Dallben is great, as is Gandalf. I always kind of got a hoot out of Fizban the Fabulous, if we can tage wise old sage into the zany realm.Bryan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555071335245492790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-8940744455057735492010-10-13T15:04:08.184-04:002010-10-13T15:04:08.184-04:00Me.
