Bah Guinness is good but Budweiser is better!!!! More alcohol and more Drinkability*!
I like Beer, no I love Beer. I love German Beers most of all, but decent non-lite American Beer is good too.
*that's what's on the can.

Howdy!
We started with with 3d6 in order rolled, moved to 3d6 in player selected order to get characters and classes we would like to play, then finally ended up with the 4d6 with player selected order to get viable characters like you mention. We have been doing this for years and seems to be the best way for us. I am glad to know that our paths moved the same way!
Thanks!

Agreed, Mike
The objective is to have players who are happy with their new PCs, the latter having a decent chance of surving the adventures.

At the risk of incurring wrath...
All the popular American beers are watery and tasteless, so they need to be drunk ice cold so as to convince the poor deluded consumers that it is beer they are drinking, not amber-hued, carbonated water.
IMO the British real ales are about the best brew one can enjoy. Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale is one of my vary favorites, and their Oatmeal Stout is better than Guiness to my palate.
Peter Hand Brewery used to make an excellent beer, their Special Reserve, but it had body and flavor, so folks raised on soda pop likely preferred beers lacking those qualities.
Heh,
Gary

We usually drink our Budweiser at progressively warmer temperatures. See the group of guys I drink with most of the time just sit our case of Bud on the table and start going at it. Pour in some Bushmills shooters and it's ecstacy!

Gary can you tell me if the Gord GN's will be able to feature the Greyhawk names and locations?

Boilermakers are different than straight beer. If I'm mixing Irish whiskey in my beer, the brand isn't going to matter much

Whatever is in the novel will be in the graphic form, so the later ones will not have Greyhawk names not found in the first two. Actually, as parts of City of Hawks will be picked up to flesh out the initial two graphic novel series, these will be somewhat expanded versions of the first two stories.

Enough about beer, back to reality.
Well, there's one thing I've always wondered, Gary. When you run games, do you have your own unpublished homebrew, or do you use one of the pre-existing settings?
Have you(exclusively) written and published a setting? (I assume Greyhawk was a joint endeavor, if so, that wouldn't count in this respect .)
BTW, who developed Mystara?
