I'll go with May Kasahara from Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, a novel full of nifty character names. There's a wonderful lilt to that particular name.

Ah, two different things then… his company went through a lot of craziness.

It was his company, until suddenly it wasn't. I'll have to reread that part, though — so much history in that book, it's hard to remember it all.

I feel like there was an in-depth article about this very schism from early Gameological, or possibly ye olde AV Clubbe, but it's been ages.

Have you read Of Dice and Men? Gives great insight into how the 4th ed turned out the way it did. (Long story short: Gygax lost control, which was both good and bad.) Anyway, while Hasbro remains somewhat hands-off on 5e, it looks like it's in good hands under Mike Mearls and Jeremy Crawford. They're not releasing…

That sounds Lynchian, actually. Which is something I'd like to see more of.

Got my girlfriend's support, that's all I need. Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it! And maybe my perceptions are all…

Katsudon = Japanese deep-fried pork cutlet. Xiao long bao - Chinese dumplings with soupy filling. Chicken inasal - Bacolod-style roasted chicken really best appreciated when eaten in their hometown.

Since I don't like to explain jokes, I invite you to search for the "Gwyneth Paltrow" posts on the Newswire.

No. Actually, I'm not sure if that is the right CHVRCHES song, I often get titles mixed up. It's more the beat and the energy of the song.

Read up on the sunk cost fallacy… then drrop the class.
