This past Friday, Wil Wheaton blogged about reading Gnome Stew [1]…and made nine grown men — us gnomes — have spontaneous, awkward-to-explain nerdgasms on the spot.
I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Wil, but I enjoy his blog, WWdN: In Exile [2]. He’s a geek with a long acting career (Stand by Me was his big breakout; you most likely know him for Star Trek: The Next Generation), a killer poker game, and excellent taste in GMing blogs.
And he reads Gnome Stew! That totally rocks. Mission accomplished — we will be closing the site tomorrow, kissing our wives/girlfriends/gerbils goodbye, and dying happy geeks.

Welcome to the party, Wil. We hope you enjoy reading our stuff at least half as much as we enjoy reading yours.

[5] – You can come crawling in on your belly, and still be taller than us gnomes. We prefer to be big where it counts…
You know – the ego. 🙂
