Rake: It's a column about how life and DnD interact with and effect one another, through the lense of the writer's personal experiences. This isn't a print magazine. It is silly to assume that "page space" being used by this article would be used by something else if Shelly quit doing the column. A website like the official site for DnD doesn't have such limited real estate that they couldn't put something else up (this column was running before dragon content started to drop) alongside...

And IIRC, she's an actual employee, not a freelancer. She probably isn't getting paid per article, it's just one part of her job at WoTC.
Congratulations Shelly! Don't worry, my wife and I also turned out honeymoon in Quebec City into a D&D adventure. She bought her first (and only) weapon (a mordenkrad) at one of the medieval equipment stores in the city. For the rest of the trip I wasn't sure if I had maried her, or Simone Wolfgunk, her Eladrin Avenger.
Where are Tanis Half-Elven and Tasselhoff Burrfoot? Or maybe Palin Majere? Or better yet, Tika Waylan (preferably before she was married :P) and Catti-brie? Now those are people I'd have a dinner date with in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, there are some great choices on that list, I just think it could be diversified a bit. Ooo, how about Lady Alustriel. She could be fun to sit and talk with.
I have just ordered the novels by R.A. Salvatore. I have loved what he has did with the Drow. Since the dark Elf trilogy I have played nothing else. I have even created a house that escaped from the under dark and worshipped Ellistrae. The wizards of the coast sanctioned the destruction of her based on the loses penmanship of some author. I am interested in bringing my Drow into this campaign setting only if Ellistrae is allowed. She is a god. You just can't kill her. What are the...

OR, if you wanted to reference Star Trek more blatantly AND make the redshirt joke, instead of a "beam me up" thing (which is actually a misquote and was never used in the series at all), you could have sprung for a joke involving the famous constantly-used quote "He's dead, Jim".
The joke is clever, but the art is amateur. Kind of the opposite of what we've been seeing lately. You really need to find an artist-writer team that can do both. That being said, I'd enjoy more of this series.

Personally, I love the artwork's feel. It wouldn't work in a comic book, sure, but it works great as a little webcomic thing; feels like I'm reading some nice little indie webcomic that hasn't gotten massively popular yet. Joke's good too; doubly so for a philosophy major like myself.
