Wizards of the Coast novels, short stories, and articles by Matthew Stover:

1. Hero or Villain | No man is a villain in his heart, and no man is a hero to his valet. So it's a push. |
2. Night or Day | A hard day's night, a hard knight's Dei. They're both hard, and not in a good way. |
3. Dog or Cat | Dog. Snow dog. Specifically, Alaskan Malamute. I like having pets who are smarter than I am. |
4. Happy or Smart | The fact that this is a valid question is a sad truth about life on Earth. |
5. Cake or Pie | I think you mean, "Cake or death? And we're out of cake." |
