CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.
He is called the "Ancient," but how old is that, exactly? One of the judges on RuPaul's Drag Race Thailand claims to be 80,000 years old. That makes us feel quite young at just 5000 years. From the Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom handbook.
You don't need to hire a staff to look your best, but you do need to employ a staff, if you get our double wordplay. From the Master Of Monsters II handbook.
It's been said that teachers help us to see a brighter future, and that's never truer than for our wizard mentors. From Atlantic Christian's 1985 yearbook.
