I met Harry once only, and for only something less than a week's time. Physically, the good Mr. Fisher matched the description of Gray Mouser, he having been a ballet dancer in his prime. Mentally he was keen and sharp-tongued to match, quite the opposite of the more laconic and easy-going Mr. Leiber, his dear friend. Harry was also ascerbic of wit, outspoken, and demanding. He was flamboyant in dress and at times in speaking. He loved to imbibe and have fun, so at Gencon X his room was party central. Fritz retired early...even whrn he was my house guest after the convention was over.Gray Mouser said:Heh, I see. So how close was Fisher to the Gray Mouser in your estimation?
As for the Gray Mouser's ability (or lack thereof) at magic, his disintegration of the mages in "The Lord's of Quarmall" is one of my favorite episodes, especially since they were the wrong mages

That's what I can pass along.

Framk, how many and at what price do you believe you could auction off at GenCon? Based on your advice, I'll see what the trolls have to say

Hey, looks good, but how about a real troll button. You know the kind... "horrid carnivores... loathsome... thin and rubbery." Did I leave any descriptives out?

*chuckles* yes. Tall, brutish, powefully built scandinavian giant kin...the mythological descriptors I go by.
Sides the Erdian "Troll Lord" is rather a different sort of critter.

I got dice older than you.
To hell with that! Get 'em ready for the end of the month!!! They should be the official t-shirt of the LGGC.Col_Pladoh said:"Yggsburgh Street Department" or perhaps "Yggsburgh Street Walker"....

As a DM who wants the players to be as pleased as possible with the process. I typically allow stat rolls of d46, taking the three highest, and allowing the totals to be arranged in whatever order the player desires.
In regards to HPs, I typically say re-roll any 1, and I agree with the initial GD being at the max--a good way to assist in survival of low-lEvEl PCs
Wow, that's fairly lenient. While I've nearly always allowed the 4d6 method for stats, I'm usually strict on hps. In my games, a player always rolled for 1st level and kept the roll, no matter how bad until I switched to 3e. I've always ruled that the player gets whatever he rolls when he levels, even if it's a 1.

We will look smashing in pumpkin orange and black bowling shirts. After all I, at least. am rather rotund...
Pity the LGGC isn't slated for all Hallows Eve.
BTW. the opening pun on the rock group is absolutely intentional
