Gaming with Gygax

I am envious of all of the mods in the extreme.

Awesome.

I might have to start doing a Foxworthyesque comedy routine at GenCon:

"If you've ever MADE your own dice rather than not game...You might be a D&D geek."

"If you've ever high fived anybody because you killed Gary Gygax's Gelatinous Cube with a Natural 20...You might be a D&D geek."

Platonic solids have been around since Greek times. Since you're in London, go check out the Imperial Science Museum (or whatever it's called) south of Hyde Park. I saw some there from like 1838 or 1738!

I bet Gary got some of those and painted numbers on.

I have one question...

Did he roll dice to determine his reaction upon meeting you, like he did in Futurama?

Awesome story, Rel.

I finally managed to meet Gary this year and found him to be very gracious as he was signing my copy of D3: Vault of the Drow (I later got it signed by cover artist, Erol Otus, too...who though the interior signature of Gary Gygax was ultra-cool).

I was lame, though. I couldn't think of anything cool to say to him while I was standing there. I told him I hoped he had time to game at the con this year and he said he got to play a bit Wednesday night...your game, obviously.

Yes, damn your oily hide. Yes, I was. At 0 hit points, too.

Stupid cart. Why didn't the gelatinous cube eat THAT?

Bah! I was more hoping you'd challenge me!

You're as wimpy as the dwarf you played!
