[QUOTE="Walter_J, post: 211457, member: 2938"] [URL=http://test.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13828] Greetings! Well, as far as I've been able to gather here and there over the years, I don't know that EGG doesn't like 3E, so much as 3E is a much different game then 1E and co. (which it is.) Actually, if I remember correctly, Gary does like aspects of 3E and the DMG in particular. As far as d20 material, I don't think Gary writes any d20 material. He writes for his own game system and someone does the "coversions." (I could be wrong and the above would probably be best answered by Gary himself.) That AD&D (1E on back) has anything to do with Tolkein's work is a big misconception. Numerous old Dragon articles and the 1E DMG state so. I think the influences were more Moorcock, Vance and co. A close look at AD&D vs. Tolkein pretty much confirms this -- AD&D elves are nothing like Tolkein elves, etc... Halflings, maybe, but they may have come from some Celtic myth just as easily (which is where I think Tolkein based them of off, but that info was long ago for me.) The magic system is the big give away and I believe relates more to the Cudgel the Clever stories then anything. Again, I'm going back 15+ years for some of these answers, so don't quote me for absolute accuracy, although this info plus a look through the old DMG should point you in the right direction.
