| Ben McFarland once beat Zeb Cook in a Greyhawk Trivia Contest. Ben lived on a desert island for two years. Ben fences saber, brews beer, cooks chinese, writes and plays RPGs-- though he does none of these things as much as he likes. Premises guarded by man with shotgun three nights a week. You guess the nights. As long as you loved them, he's either responsible for or contributed to: Breaking of Forstor Nagar, Coliseum Morpheuon, bits and pieces of the 101 Spells series, and a lot of the sales copy for Rite Publishing's products. Seriously. Like almost all. And yes. That's a real fish head.
