I'm not sure the word "perfect" should be attributed to this item I would like to keep it for about a week and then I will ship it to the next recipient.I'm really looking forward to this. It should be quite enjoyable ... strike that too ... should be quite disturbing, if the first page is any indication.The CD is also taped to the inside front. I'll make a copy of it as well.Thanks,Keith

Keith the Thief wrote:After having the chance to sit down and read this, I agree with Badmike. This kid was angry.When you see it, you'll understand. The flyleaves are covered, top to bottom, with his "editorial" to EGG. While parts of it are typical of a 13-year-old -- "I've seen better heads on a zit" -- I found other aspects to be downright scary.Any individual rant, taken alone, isn't so bad. But in toto this "letter" really creeps me out.His close ("yours truly") makes me wonder whether he photocopied this and mailed it to TSR or perhaps to Gygax himself.
