Dude, this is awesome. I think everyone here could probably gain from reading this, even if they know it all already. It's nice to review what you know, after all.

O.o

I'm thinking a link to the writerisms belongs somewhere in the new player guide.

I dunno, I kind of like it. But maybe I'm just masochistic.
