Who remembers SnarfQuest? (:

I have the dragon magizne CD-ROM, its great to look at all the old stuff now and again.

I have the Snarfquest graphic novel and read it time to time. I love that strip.

Has the d20 supplements come out yet?

edit-Answered that myself. I am so going to buy that supplement

Can't wait to introduce Gagglezoomers to my campaign.

Remember it? Yes. Did I much care for it? No.

I loved Wormy, What's New and Yamara, but SnarfQuest just never did it for me.

Of course, Trampier drives a cab, and Elmore's a well-known professional artist. I don't know if that means anything, but there you are.

It was good...and I've been plannign on picking up the worldbook...

However...

I would REALLY like to get a Wormy Worldbook...that would be cool...

small wise-cracking imps, cool dragons...what more can you ask for...

I must get a pool table with a screened wormy in the center...that would be cool

Unfortunately, yes

I remember SnarfQuest. The fact that it "replaced" Wormy (not that it really did, as I know now) was a contributing factor to my decision to stop subscribing to Dragon back then.

Granted, I'm one of those mutants who wishes Larry Elmore had never been allowed to pick up a paintbrush. That 3e has pretty much divorced itself from that whole school of cheesy fantasy art is a dream come true for me.

As far as a Wormy sourcebook... as soon as Savage Species comes out, I'm gonna write the dang thing.

Yes, this is pretty much exactly how I react when I see Larry's work.

Don't know any of these things, but I know Kroc le Bô (Kroc-the-Bewtifool), the misadventure and bad luck of a half-goblin/half-nymph (and thus, bewtifool), with an undestructible hit point (and thus, immortal, but that don't prevent him from being hit), and gentle and nice and all; yet still a goblin (and thus, purchased by every munchkins that charge at him screaming "There ! 5 XP ! For me !" or summoned by a wizard demonstrating to his student how the "summon monster" spell works, etc.

Also, the adventures of the Grosbill (Bigbill, or Fatbill). An archetype of a D&D munchkin: stupid, bloodthirsty, with a dozen intelligent magic swords in his sheath (that usually complain about not having enough place), and the only stomach of holding (beer only) ever. He frequently chased Kroc, when he was not traveling the planes until he could find "Mr Gugax" and cower him into adding to the DMG table an item he wasn't able to find at the market (namely, a +2 toothpick).

Or the wonderful Mongol & Gotha (Mountgol & Gotha ?), two first-level fighters that never leveled and always fought against the loathsome "Mago 27", a 27th-level wizard with a signature spell of "bananamorphosis". (3-4 cases strips in which the "heroes" nearly always got turned into bananas.)

But the better to date has been "The Quest for Answers", where a little band of adventurers are searching the explanations behind such clichés as "why do dragons hoard treasure", "why heroes never die", "why heroes never go on vacation", "why princess are always pretty" or "why are dwarves small". One of the best had been "why are heroes always human(oid)", and featured the prowess of three farm animals (mirroring each one of the "normal" heroes) trying to defeat the evil of the nearby inn's cook; but finishing on the dishes of said normal heroes (and one of them sayng merrily, "nothing like fresh meat when you had a day without adventure nor carnage").

Now, now, let's not pick on Larry. Just because the man can't draw trousers...

What?
