Hey Jim,

Over all I like your posting, but it sounded more to me that you were saying "Leave your baggage at the door" than "Separate yourself from your character."

I tend to think that some of the best characters are autobiographical in nature and if people are having fun (not at anyone else's expense) they they are doing it right.

You've inspired me to write a piece on my own blog, and thought you might want to know that you are quoted and linked to. http://roleplayingmarket.com/whats-in-a-game.html

Game on,
