I like it.  I hope you keep up with a regular column.  It's always so much more interesting proofreading columns like this...

a comment on Ms. Fishes article, I too have stopped bothering to tell people what game Im playing, and often half heartedlly say... its like D&D...

Its something that grates on my soul, because Growing up I had to deal with a lot of Jack Chick like D&D hate...

It's a paraphrase of the MST3K version of Jack Chick's tract about D&D--see the link I posted on Jeffe's Jack Chick thread.

I don't comment much, but this article was definitely comment-worthy . . . even though I'm not a girl (unless the king has been lying to me). :-/

Keep the articles coming!
