Indeed! He started it with the menu for the Inn of the Welcome Wench in Village of Hommlet!

Oh all right...
I confess I am a gastronome, love gourmet restaurants, enjoy cooking, and am usually willing to try anything that has the prospect of being good to eat
And now I am wishing I had paid more attention to my grandfather when he was attempting to teach me about edible mushrooms. I recall him mentioning a shelf fungi that was excellent, I think he said it was orange, but matbe that was one that was poisnous. Ah well.
That mushroom pun didn't ring true.
As for Drow, I never envisaged them as a standard PC race. I guess I erred in not making them more loathesome...although malign subterranean elves that love spiders seem pretty unappealing as is...
Cheers,
Gary

Gary, which OD&D rules will we be using during the Lake Geneva Con? Mentzer's box set rules or Hoyle's or Molday/Cook's? I was thinking of rolling up my characters at home and bringing some, or would it be better just to roll up characters in front of the judges?

Don't mind Gary; he's just trying to put another feather in his cap.
