On a related note, can anyone recommend reputable sources (books) for the amateur student of medieval history? There is a lot of pure crap out there of questionable validity. I've always liked Stephen Runciman's "A History of the Crusades". The man was a serious academic with a storyteller's instin...

I'm reading Infernal Sorceress by Gary Gygax.

Copies were sold at GenCon and most/all people who pre-ordered it have received their copies, but AFAIK it hasn't yet made it into standard retail distribution yet. Ah, OK.
