Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, there's been a couple reasons for that...one of which is the fact that I recently got married (yay!) but the lead up to it, particularly during the month of February and the first part of March, was particularly grueling, and didn't leave me much free time. The other reason is the fact that after I got back from the honeymoon, I got lazy. Like, really lazy. Didn't want to do much of anything after work, never bothered to unpack, that sort of thing. So I'm getting back in the saddle, and I thank you for everyone who cheered me on and pushed me to make more blog entries.

Today's entry is on DMPCs. Here's the short version: just don't fucking do it. Ever.
Okay, now that I have that out of my system, let's go through the long version, and talk about DMPCs: what they are, why people want to use them, and why they shouldn't ever do this.
No, seriously. I'm not going to espouse the merits of DMPCs, because as we'll see, there aren't really any solid, good reasons to use them. And yes, this is coming from the perspective of someone who has both had them in groups he's been in as well as forced them upon the party as a DM. It's time for me to atone for my sins.
