Shamus Young on the Mysteries of the Backpack

In addition to his hilaroius and informative DM of the Rings comic, Sean Young has lots of really good articles on gaming at his TwentySided website. The installment I read today was on the abuse of the backpack in D&D, and from there I followed a link to a great article on Encumberance.

Have a look, enjoy the laugh.

Eventually I will get around to prepping and organizing a session, but after teaching three different classes in a six week intensive MFA program of my own creation where I was also actvities director for 9 MFA students...I need to shake the Etchasketch a little before I get back to my real or my fantasy lives.
