General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
Ah. Nope. I used to lurk there but I'm not a poster there and never have been. Feel free to link this thread there or copy it there if you like. Let me know if you do, I'd love to get to see the reactions of the folks there.
Don't let him fool you. diaglo lets us go to -hp in his OD&D game.
So there, diaglo. Now we are even for what you did to my dice bag!

- Col_Pladoh's advice to me, and my advice to you.
A few quotes from that illustrious game that I wrote on the back of my (now-unpacked) character sheet:
"So far, our spellcasting has been as selfish as it is ineffectual." -Rel, on seeing my cure spells and el-remmen's failed Charm Person on "his future gnoll slave."
Gary:"...something gelatinous surrounding the mule..."
Rel and PCat simultaneously:"YES!"
(sound of a breaking door) "FEAR THE WIZARD!"
-el-remmen and his dungeon cart
El-remmen: "Stairs? Is there a wheelchair ramp for the cart?"
Rel: "This dungeon is not OSHA-compliant."
Hypersmurf has the infamous "northwest" map, and due to a luggage problem, it may not have made it back home yet.

By the way, a recent note from Gary:

If there's one dragon, it's a solo monster.
If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.

I am sickened beyond belief. The half-orc wizard is obviously the best possible PC, and I only had to read 10 pages of the book to figure it out. D&D is dead to me! -- Mike Mearls
FWIW, I'm on the design team and I pretty much find WoW as fun and interesting as banging my head against a brick wall. -- Mike Mearls
you happen to say that 4E reminds you of the reasons you decided against a career as a special-Ed teacher--noted rpg author Darrin Drader
On a funny note, one guy on my team at work I told this to was pretty geeked out by association and was ready to spring it on his gaming buddies today at lunch--but they all had already read about it and could cite details from it, such as "...rolled a nat 20 on the greek fire to kill the cube" and one corrected "It was a flask of oil!"
Nice work, Qdoba boys...

God, what a bunch of geeks! Just because someone gets to game with Gary Gygax..
*squeal*
is no reason to get all crazy about it.

I was describing the super-excited state you all must have been in to my team by using the Wendy's commercial about bacon. The one where all the Beatles/Elvis-type groupies are screaming but with guy faces superimposed....that was you guys, right?

Yes, every time. In very small increments, of course. But eventually, if the story is told enough, the planet will be shattered by the sonic stresses. If the story is then told once more beyond that, the Sun goes nova...

But I live around Rel, so every time could mean a helluva lot!

In retrospect it's probably a good thing that I was wearing my traditional "First Night of GenCon" Rel shirt instead of the...slightly less grandma friendly one that has my CM avatar on it.
I was working the Troll Lord booth so was fortunate enough to have gotten to hang out with Gary a bit after the convention hall was closed. He is a great guy. Alas, I did not get to game with him, so you few are lucky indeed to have been able to roll dice with him.
