mejoff has been doing one of these on his LJ, and I love it -- sort of somewhere between a very geeky 20 questions and freeform roleplaying game. So, here's mine (his is still ongoing, though, and I can certainly recommend adding to the discussion there too).

The Fifteen Character Meme. It goes like this:

I will probably be doing more game-related bloggery there, at least for a while, rather than here. Depending on how much my cohorts Jon and Gar let me stray from Dragon Warriors, you may get to read stuff on general and specific game design, how much other RPGs suck, miniatures wargaming, and LRP.
