We sing, we dance, we play.  We exchange ideas, new devices, different ways
to play.  We have contests.
As for discussion, *shrug*.  It's been a while since someone's posted
something interesting enough for a full blown discussion of pros, cons, and the like.

    We're also a very fractured group in terms of precisely which system we
play and which parts of the published material we use.  Since there doesn't
seem to be any big push by WotC to haul SJ off the shelf for d20, new products
which do come out from various companies aren't SJ per se but might have
something in them that people on the list might find useful.  And I don't see
anything wrong with someone saying on list that they've found something the rest of
us might find useful.  For that matter, I don't see anything wrong with someone
advertising the SJ adventure they just got accepted to be published in
Dungeon (or did they stop doing that?).
