• Contemporary fantasists all bow politely to Lord Tennyson and Papa Tolkien, then step around them to go back to the original texts for inspiration--and there are a lot of those texts. We have King Arthur and his gang in English; we've got Siegfried and Brunhild in German; Charlemagne and Roland in French; El Cid in Spanish; Sigurd the Volsung in Icelandic; and assorted 'myghtiest Knights on lyfe' in a half-dozen other cultures. Without shame, we pillage medieval romance for all we're worth.

• My philosophy is that once you get people compelled enough to sit down and play the game, the whole way you make the game successful is by giving them enough unique ways to do things. First, let them deal with pulling levers and things like that for a while. Then after they've mastered that, you give them something else to do, like getting through doorways by blasting them down with a cannon Next, you give them a monster-finding quest, followed by logic problems to figure out. You pace it that way. Assorted activities and the diversity of activities are what makes a game rich in my mind.

• ¿Era entonces el amor como una bolsa de caramelos variados que se reparten y de los que se puede elegir más de una vez? Algunos picaban la lengua, otros invocaban el perfume de la noche. Algunos tenían centros tan amargos como la hiel, otros mezclaban miel y veneno, otros se tragaban rápidamente. Y entre las comunes de ojo de buey y menta unas pocas raras; una o dos con agujas mortales en el corazón, otra que traía almeja y suave placer. ¿Se le cerraban los dedos con ésa?
