> Ok, let's all play another game with my stories. This one is called "Find Gestald." It's a little like "Were's Waldo," except not as hard on the eyes.

> Gestald is a minor character in my second novel, who also plays a minor role in DotA. In the "second" DotA that Sam and I started but have not yet finihsed (quit bugging me, Sam, I'll continue when I'm ready!) Gestald finally gets a "starring" role. The continuing joke was that Gestald is kind of a "character actor"--he plays the smaller parts really well, but doesn't have the "star power" to carry a story on his own. To further that continuing joke, I decided I was going to write Gestald into every single story I wrote from that point on. He obviously makes an appearance in "Method's of Concealment", so don't bother pointing that out. But Gestald also makes a cameo in one of the other stories that I posted.

Just a question. If that guy in Zippy's tavern from "The Master's Hand" -- you know the dude with leather and buckskin breeches -- was actually supposed to be Gestald, well then, I thought he was Darius. Except I was a bit surprised you'd describe the heroic Darius as a fruit.
