All very good answers! When I played with Dave, his view of his world was very internally consistent, but you had to stay awake and on your toes at all times. He was fast, he was good, and he was deadly; Dave was a fun GM and player, but he played for keeps. From my own point of view, look hardest at the earlier materials; the 'real Dave' tends to get a little lost in the later D20 material, as Dave did a lot less writing as he got older.

I've sat through this kind of thing all the time with Dave - he was a master of convoluted plots and complicated situations! You had to think twice about everything, and really stay with the flow of the game.
