How about a tally of the ages (at least by decade!) I',, convinced the average RPGhead is 10 years older than any other game group.

Don't even bother with the S route out of the swamp for now. Later in the game, when you've discovered the transport system, that will be an especially valuable path. But for now, most of ... |

The issues at SirTech won't be a problem with Wiz9. It's scheduled for the year 2012 to match the Wiz 7-->8 development cycle. By then the internal issues will have been worked out.
