Birthday Egotism, Level 31 edition
Sep. 1st, 2011 01:51 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
swan_towerLong-time readers of this journal know I have a tradition of "birthday egotism" posts, wherein I stave off any birthday-related depression by making myself post, without deprecation or qualification, about the awesome things I've done in the last year.
This year, I find myself less in the mood for that -- though not for any depressive reason. (I am, for example, damn proud of the fact that one of this year's achievements was the completion of the Onyx Court series, ridiculous levels of research and all.) Instead, I think I'll indulge in a different kind of egotism, and make this an Ask Me a Question post.
You can ask about anything: writing, reading, gaming, sewing, movies, music, travel, favorite breakfast foods, my opinion of the Cathar heresy. I'll put the answers in new posts.
And now, I'm off to enjoy my first day of being level 31. (With thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Also, under which edition of D&D (if any) are you level 31? (4e would break in half, but you're okay under 3e's Epic level rules, and still within parameters for Classic D&D...)
