I am delighted with the idea of categorizing our pens based on D&D character classes. Is my Sailor Starburst Galaxy Chaotic Good or True Neutral? Its such a classic, tried-and-true pen but in a slightly flashy package. Chaotic Good.
Oh, of course! My Benu Skull & Roses is definitely Chaotic Evil with its wickedly sharp Richard Binder needlepoint nib and crazy engaving.

I think my Carolina Pen Co. Urushi Lamy is definitely Chaotic Neutral. Its such a classic pen but dressed up in finery.
Its a fun mental game to try to categorize my pens. Do you have any clear ideas about your pen collection? Share your favorites in the comments
