Media Glutton: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition
I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons off and on for a really long time. If my math and memory are right, I started iin third grade which makes it somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 years. Oh, man, I hadn't done that math before. That's a really long...
