You need to thank Bourgoine for the latest Gord tale. He was the one that encouraged its creation and took the lead.dagiz said:

Howdy,John Drake said:Hey there Gary
These are some pretty standard questions I suppose, and no doubt have been asked this before, but I have not been fortunate enough to have heard the answer. So, apologies for the repeat of query
From a player's perspective, what is your favourite AD&D character class? If you do have one, for what reason is it your favouite?
No special favorite plots or stories, just something that has adventure, exploration, mystery, and problem solving in addition to the action.
Since sometime around 1975 I increasingly served as GM. That holds true today when i seldom get to participate in another role. Thus I now prefer having a player's role to that of a GM's. Otherwise, I enjoy both aspects of the RPG, but to be a good GM one must sometimes be on the other side of the proverbial screenWhich have you tended to do more of: play or DM/GM? Which do you prefer?
Thanks Gary, for taking the time to consider these wacky questions of a fan. Thanks!
Ciao!

Obmi has to be my favorite NPC ever. In the 80's, he drove the PC's bonkers (<-- it was the 80's!). When we resumed gaming c. 2000, I brought him out in an old castle/dungeon of my making and once again was my favorite weapon at my DM disposal.
In this dungeon, he was working at a bench when he was approached, feigning to be slaving away. Strangely, nearby was a sliding glass door which looked out to a forest. He stabbed the fighter as they were talking and fled out the glass door. The party of four pursued him, not knowing they were running into "The Repeating Forest", which would repeat itself every 200'. Thus he doubled back on them using its repeating feature and escaped via the sliding door.
My wife will still mention him from time to time whenever we discuss gaming. Bravo on such a great character that really knows how to get under the PCs' collective skin.

That is much how I regarded the cherished Obmi as the DM, how my players felt about the hated dwarf. Worse still...
Son Ernie had Obmi in his campaign, and who should I be playing but Zigby, my dwarf fighter. How I wanted to catch and trash that vile, filthy, fleeing runt after he popped my PC with a dwarven throwing hammer. Irritatingly, I could not find him in the maze he used to make good his escape
