Hey Gary! Glad to see you are back! Just wanted to pass on my best wishes to you and that you make an exceptional recovery. And I am so happy you plan on still attending Gen Con, as I wouldn't have blamed you if you had chosen not to. Can't wait! Enjoy the Super Bowl!

Ok, thanks Gary. That makes sense to me, and yeah, I forgot about the really high level modules like Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure and the great Isle of the Ape. And personally, I never had that much of a problem with the race limits, still don't, and I believe imho that it is one of the...

Hey there Gary, how are things going? Well, the other day I was having a discussion with a buddy of mine about AD&D and all that, which edition we liked better and so forth. Anyway, at one point, my pal there says that back in the seventies and early eighties, in general, it was not expected...

Howdy Gary! Just gotta say I'm glad these threads keep on going, they're fantastic! Anyway, I noticed a few posts back there, you mentioned Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson. I'm fans of they're work as well, and I was wondering what they were like and if you ever really worked with them on...

Well Gary, just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday ahead of time, just in case I'm too busy to do so on the proper day. Have a good one! :D

Hi Gary, how are things? :) Very well, I hope. Anyway, just have a couple quick questions: since the LGGC has been the latest topic of discussion, the Chainmail game in particular, I was wondering, do you have a favourite miniatures game, overall? And, have you ever played Warhammer, and if so...

Hello Gary! Now, just to harken back to a couple of posts reagarding the creation a second edition for AD&D, back when you were still with TSR: so, when you were thinking about this at the the time, was it because you really felt the game needed it or was there some sort of demand from the...

True, and I somewhat acknowledged this in my post, but it just isn't to the extent it once was back in the day ;) Yes, some of the WotC mods were good. But I do find them, in general, difficult to locate. I guess it's just the area in which I live.

Hi there Gary Since the recent topic is that of modules and design, I was hoping to get some insight or an opinion from you ( but I'm really hoping for both! :) ) . So, being a gamer who started out with classics like B2 and the Giant series, Needle, and the like, I have a great fondness for...

Didn't really have a question, just wanted to throw some thanks out there to airwalker for his superb question(s), for he phrased them far more eloquently than I ever could. And of course, a big thanks to Gary for the awesome answer! Wow, it explained so much that I always wanted to know! Thank...

Hmm, I had no idea about that, since I always thought the little forward you wrote in it was quite complimentary. In addition to what JRT asked, why did he get the job of doing that module? Iirc, it was something about things resembling (at that time) ToEE too much, and, if memory serves, you...

Heya Gary Just curious, when you run LA, D&D or what have you, do you utilize miniatures? I do like them a quite a bit myself, even though sometimes my group can get a little pre-occupied with the strategy element as opposed to doing things based off of what the PC personality might actually...

:lol: Well it certainly worked! :) So, Gary, as this topic of deities and such continues, I'm curious as to which mythology or pantheon you have a soft spot for, out of real-world mythologies? My personal fav has always been the Norse, followed by Celtic and Egyptian.

:) Gotcha... ;)

Hiya, Gary! While we seem to be on the topic of the divine, here's another query: now, I realise as you stated previously that BECMI D&D was Frank's baby and all, but how come there was never really any inclusion of a pantheon of gods in that setting like in Greyhawk? Personally, it never...

Yeah, it is pretty awesome being able to converse with the fellow who created my favourite hobby! Thanks for that , btw :) Hey Gary, just curious about a couple of things: do you ever play OD&D (74 editon) these days at all, and if you do, do you use the all the supplements or just the...

That's awesome Gary! Hey, whatever works for you works for me (and everyone else here, I imagine! :)) Thanks ! :D

Hey, good to have you back! :D How did the LGGC go overall, anyway? From what I hear, Frank Mentzer's quite the terror around the board game circuit, how'd people fare against him? Or against you for that matter? :)

Hi there, Gary I have a question: I've never been sure as to how to pronounce the word bolded above, is the 'y' pronounced as an 'i' like 'diver' or as a soft sound as in 'sieve' ? And just one other query, which as per my usual :) most likely you've been asked before but I've never been...

Those are all fantastic books, btw. Haven't read Vance yetr, but ordered a couple from Amazon. Hey, Gary, have you ever read Ian Flemming's James Bond books? If you have, I'd be interested to hear your opinion on 'em. Also, if you like 24, you've gotta check out the 1st two seasons, truly...
