		<description><![CDATA[Every year at GenCon, I try to make it a point to play in at least one LARP (Live Action Role-Playing game). The main reason, of course, is that LARPs can be a lot of fun &#8212;  and since they&#8217;re production-intensive, I don&#8217;t tend to get too many chances to play them.
LARPing is also [...]]]></description>

I knew it was the right thing to do when it hit me that I&#8217;d rather rake the yard than [...]]]></description>
