I usually spent two hours of the day collecting our D&D Designers tweets, schedule posts on Facebook and help players when they ask me about D&D rules (if I can).
Well, I hope to help you to dream around the table and wishing to play forever the best game ever made.

30 years ago Dragon magazine launch Sage Advice Column by Jean Wells, “She tried to bring some humor to the column, believing that some of her young readers were taking D&D too seriously.

Well Zoltar Sage Advice will follow this direction, not only a place to find Q&A about rules but a library that collect advices for Dungeons&Dragons, how to play or Dungeon Mastering tips, rules options, jokes, visions for storytelling, writing inspiration and some news about the best Game ever made.
