I have been thinking this for a while but I am pretty sure that RSI
is pretty short on the programming end of thing.  Somehow, I get
the impression that the RSI people come up to the DM altar, give
their gifts and wait for the holy pronouncements from on high.  I
am not really sure if anyone really understands the program.

But that aside, the comments don't really push me one way or another
in terms of playing a game.  What gets me in the game is the
competition.
