There's an awesome event coming up in March that I think everyone who loves Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy in general should attend.  Details are posted below. ___ The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's Religious Studies Student Organization in conjunction with the Creative Writing department are holding their annual spring semester guest lecture, this year featuring renown game designer and author, Monte Cook! Please see the details about this event below. ____ Real World Deities In Fictional Worlds: The Gods of Dungeons & Dragons What is the relationship of mythology and imagination in both the fantasy and the reality of the role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons? Get the inside scoop from co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 and the lead designer of the next edition of the world's oldest roleplaying game! Tuesday, March 6th, 4:00 - 5:00 PM Located in Bolton Hall 150, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Refreshments to Follow Free and Open to the Public  ____ Hope to see everyone there! Don't be afraid to ask questions, and if I know the answer I'll get back to you in a timely fashion!

Yet another reason I haven't visited the WotC forums in ages.  To those of you who have interest in attending, please don't be afraid to ask questions here if you have any.  The one question I have recieved is about this event being recorded.  Right now, we aren't planning on it, but we have discussed the option and are looking into recording it if Mr. Cook is open to the idea! Once again, thanks for checking in, and hope to see you there!

#7 LeviMiles Feb 15, 2012 11:06:44	I figured this was a great spot to get the word out!  I'm sure there are some people from the Wisconsin/Illinois area that would be interested in stopping in floating around on here. And I'm sure quite a few people will blog about the lecture, I know I will!
#8 zombie_babies Feb 15, 2012 12:00:24	You'd probably be best served contacting these folks.  A search for Illinois or whatever groups would probably also be good.

As it is, I would relly like to hear a recording of his lecture. Thanks!!
