This was one of my favorite shows personally. I grew up LOVING Role Playing Games and writing adventures and reading all the material. I NEVER as a child understood all the grown ups who had problems with them.
I was always looking at all the mental activity involved and sat there as a kid wondering why all those big people were so against me doing something that was SO much like the homework they forced me to do... but which I found so FUN!
When I first met Mike Stackpole it was so nice to meet the man who wrote that Pulling Report. I remember, fondly, reading it in High School and held it up to almost all teachers and others who found D&D and other RPG games so 'evil'.
Both myself and Swoopy were involved heavily with a hugh Live Action Role Playing group in Las Vegas, where we met.
So, this episode had a lot of great hidden sub-text for us!
