Some, like Tim and Doug on here, have even reached out to me since! I probably should see it as a podcasting opportunity with people discussing their memories of crafting then seeing their characters on the page (apparently, often heavily modified).Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-53741600863388742912019-02-28T16:00:48.257-04:002019-02-28T16:00:48.257-04:00IIRC from my childhood, the heroes and villains we...IIRC from my childhood, the heroes and villains we're reader submitted.
