[QUOTE="Col_Pladoh, post: 1333171, member: 796"] Heh, To be brutally honest, I was a fanboy who got to become a friend of Fritz's. After I wrote fan letters to him, invited him to be the GoH at GenCon, Fritz and I became friends. He stayed at my place for some time, and darned if he wasn't sort of sweet on my wife, now my ex-wife, called her "The Pirate Queen." Later on he sent her a statuette of a pirate queen that did resemble her a good deal at the time, and she treasured it. Fritz was a charming fellow;) Anyway, Fritz didn't do any RPGing, so it is indeed legend in regards to his doing any D&D material. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had to help him with the rules for the [I]Lankhmar [/I] boardgame. His best pal, Harry Fischer (The Gray Mouser) was more game-oriented, and his input into that design was substantial--which pleased Fritz a greatly. Just as a FYI, when we had Fritz at the CenCon X GoH, we also brought Harry in as a guest also, so that the two could be reuninted after many years apart, so both Fafhrd and Gray mouser were at the event! Harry was in his late 60's, a small fellow who had been a ballet dancer, still in great shape, full of piss & vinegar too, as is said. He came into Lake Geneva wearing a white Panama hat with a red hatband, a red and white checked sports coat, and white Bermuda shorts. Raised hell in shops, and the parties in his room were heroic. Harry had many party favors he brought along, and everyone who could manage it came to his suite in the Playboy Club to get in on the fun. Even Fritz, who was then a tee-totaller was there marvelling at Harry's energy and capacity for recreational substances. Cheers, Gary [/QUOTE]
