I enjoyed the article. Pens are not the worst thing you can bite through. Any LARPer can tell you hir version of the following horror story. . .
You're on an adventure. You find a locked box, possibly booby-trapped. As the party's thief, it's your task to open it. You examine the box carefully with your glow-stick (the only light source allowed on a dungeon crawl). You place the glow-stick in your teeth in order to have both hands free to use your thieves tools. The vampire jumps out of hiding and scares the beejeezus out of you. Your party's fighters advance to battle the monster. And you're sitting there spitting glow stick chemicals out of your mouth because you bit through the damn thing when the monster surprised you. I assure you, ink is utterly no comparison to the foul taste of a glow stick! I speak from experience
