I was really moved, or let's say
altered by chapter three. Granted I had been at SRD's chapt 1 and 2 reads and already read them on his site, but once Esmer went away...all the recap and grand verbosity went away (or was assimilated) and POW I felt like I was beginning right at the end of the 2nd Chrons. I know it took a long time but
WOW after 20 years (which isn't an easy thing to do, at all) SRD was completely back in form!
(in the Gradual Interview Stephen said something like-I had to write Runes the way I did and you'll see why-I'm already beginning to see why!)
