My reccomendation on pumpkin ale: go easy on the allspice.  Don't be afraid to taste the pumpkin.  I don't know if my tastebuds are wierd, but it seems like every pumpkin beer I have ever tasted, be it macro or micro brewed, tastes like someone poured an entire bottle of that dang spice into the batch and called it good.

The beer I'm pining for is my last batch of Nut Brown Ale.  We made it on a whim in June and it was quite enjoyable until it went skunky.  Although a this date an Oatmeal Stout would finish fermenting just in time for the tail end of Fall...

I wholeheartedly agree. Last year's Oktoberfest here showcased more than a few pumpkin ales but only one of them had no allspice and it was my favorite beer of the entire fest. This year's fest is almost upon us. I can't wait.

I hate WoW and what it has done to the genra. I played SWG (Star Wars Galaxies for the uninitiated) before it got dumbed down and ruined. I loved the freedom and RPing in that game. Back then the game truely was a sandbox rife with a plethora of RPing experiences to be had. It was fun and engrossing and the players made the the stories happen with what the developers laid out.

What's a MUSH?

I know an MMORPG couldn't come close to capturing the feel of the books. I'm not sure that a table top game could either, unless it was run by Jim himself. I could be wrong.

On the other hand, the races and the inherent turmoil and politcal unrest between everyone would make for some awesome faction vs. faction wars and RPing. Not to mention the fact that the genra desperately needs something fresh, and as far as I know there's never been an MMORPG based in modern times with vampires, pixies, wizards, werewolves, swordsman, ect.

I love tabletop gaming, but since the group I gamed with for years all moved in different directions I've gone to the well of not so fresh water that is the MMORPG gaming scene.

I think that the Dresdenverse would make an absolutely awesome backdrop for an online game.

Currently, there's not a single MMO with an urban and modern, vampire, werewolf, and magic theme.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that most of the crowd who posts on MMORPG boards is looking for something different, and a modern/urban/gothic <--(for lack of a better word) themed MMO would shine like the sun in the sea of medieval time and space sci fi themed games.

Granted, MMOs are expensive to get off the ground and maintain, but they also bring in monthly subscription money, and if the game is done right, with polish, feeling, and pride... people will pay and play, and play, and... yeah, you get it.

So is there any chance that we will see a MMORPG set in the Dresdenverse?
