Dear Stevie,
As your minions who monitor the tubes of the Internet have no doubt reported (in a development promoted by both Alliterate Matt Forbeck and Shelly in Seattle, Peter Adkison has, on the eve of GenCon, has offered to be your gaming friend.
I have played both Magic:the Gathering and D&D (He was moderating) with young Mr. Adkison, and which to assure you that Peter would make a most excellent gaming friend. Yes, he's like that in real life.
You should grab this moving bandwagon with both hands, one foot, and your teeth, and not let go.
More later,
