Re: Does Dungeons and Dragons make technical writers?

I think it's a personality trait thing.  The same curiosity and pride in imaginitive solutions that makes D&D so fun to play also makes our job fun to go to - not because of anything inherent in either the game or the job, but because we simply *like* that kind of thing.

I'm wondering if, in a few years, we're going to see TWs coming in inspired by Junkyard Wars, which is much the same thing, only it's techno-imagination-problem solving instead of D&D's fantasy-imagination-problem solving.
