Thanks to you both. :)

I've got a couple of friends that I've introduced to gaming in the recent past, and they've been asking me when we are going to play again. I've been seriously considering 1E, but I'm not sure how to sell them on the idea. Anyone have any experience with this situation? Do I need a lengthy...

Thanks for keeping us informed Mandy. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Rev, and your family. Get well soon, Rev!

I am jealous, but hopefully I'll be able to finally attend my first GenCon next year. Here's hoping anyway. ;)

Hate to burst your bubble, but this was a planning thread for GenCon 2006. Check the date stamps by the posts. :)

Thank You Scott, and thanks to WotC as well.

I nominate 'Ridonkulus'. Also, 'Boss'.

You forgot 'Lorraine Williams'.

Huh. I guess I need to re-read the books again, because I don't remember that at all. Fighter10/Barbarian1/Ranger5 (according to wizards.com). A Ranger5 has access to 1st level spells, though there's a '0' in the spells-per-day chart. By virtue of a 17 Wis, he gets 1 bonus 1st, 2nd, and 3rd...

True, he uses Faerie Fire and Darkness, but these are innate racial abilities - not granted spells. The FRCS also gives him Dancing Lights, but I can't recall him ever using these in the novels. The current FR year is, what, 1374 DR? He was born in 1297 DR, so he's 77 or thereabouts.

Ditto. My friends and I called them 'Drow' (rhymes with 'grow') for so long, that when we discovered the correct pronunciation, we thought it sounded just a little silly.
