I play both 1E and 3E, but tend to keep the rules separate for purity's sake. The exception to this is bringing 3E's clerical spontaneous casting down to 1E (it's the only way a cleric really gets an opportunity to stock any other kind of spell in their daily prayers). It's just a damn good...

Hello Lunamancer, Nice write up of LA! I am pretty much already decided on purchasing LA when I have the extra cash, but have a question or two anyway. In regards to all weapon damage being between 1-20... I understand Gary's philosophy behind this to a degree. The idea that a longsword or a...

27. Hobbit: "Hail!" Galadriel:" Welcome, Hobbit... welcome to the forests of Lothlorien! Do ye seek respite on your quest to destroy the One True Ring in Mordor?" Hobbit: "What is Mordor?" ... Hobbit: "Who is Mordor?" ... Hobbit: "Where is Mordor?" Galadriel:" Far from here... but this eve, the...

Hello Gary, Thanks again for humoring us with this Q&A thread! I just can't get over how cool it is to be able to drop questions on the Old Wizard himself about his creative ideas... truly the internet has made the World that much closer together! Anyway... my query regards Mythus. I pretty much...

Are you saying that if a Hill Giant told you to do something, you wouldn't do it? Sounds like 17 CHR to me! Jest aside, looks like a typo. 7 CHR doesn't seem too far off. (I never noticed this before because my players are still 6th level). Ghouls though, are a wee bit screwy. I tried to play...

Ghost PCs are really a lark for me. Not that I wouldn't consider it... but it just seems like such an extremely limited circumstance that I don't need an entire book to teach me how to handle it... I can figure that out all on my own... if the neeed arises.

Dear Gary, I wonder if you might be willing to comment about the upcoming 3.5 edition of D&D? While I accept the fact that various rules changes/clarifications are needed to better serve the game and it's audience, it seems to me that an entire overhaul and rewriting of all the core books is...

Greetings Gary, Back a ways in the thread you were speaking about reading material. I just wanted to offer a fiction selection: "The Book of the New Sun" by Gene Wolfe. I consider it to be the finest sf/fantasy novel(s) I have ever read... very inspirational! Take care, Duglas

Argent... you are goddamn badass! Others: The Great Spirit knows I love the wee beasties... but pet lovers should maybe start another thread.

I am curious to know how Feliath dismisses the rape statistics of 1 in 3 women as "pure bunkum". No support is given for this conjecture. From my own experience with girlfriends I've had telling me their past histories, I find those statistics to be frighteningly accurate.

Hello Gary! Hope your holidays were joyous! Have a question for you concerning ancient Egypt (from another thread that tweaked my interest): How was the court of the Pharoah arranged? I assume that it could be considered a theocracy... but what were the titles held by subordinates and did they...

Very interesting question! I've always been facinated with the history and mythology of ancient Egypt (Kemet), as my login name might indicate, but your question leaves me baffled! I never thought about it in such a way before... perhaps I need to go back and hit the books again! From the hip...

I'm pretty new to ENWorld, but I've been digging checking out everybody's pix... so I guess I better ante up...

There have been some pretty good responses to your query already, but I have a couple of things to add. It seems your major concern was the accusation by your players that you sometimes act "too young". Well, you ARE about 10 years younger than your players apparently, so that is going to be a...

We are just in the early stages of "RttToEE" ourselves and I think a balanced party of 4th level characters in NECESSARY to start. It's pretty tough in there! Balanced to me: Ftr, Wiz, Clc, plus an extra... rogue is nice, but an extra fighter is tasty too! Or a multi-class whatever. Play around...

Pretty much everything I have read here is level-headed advice. My own: That's a rough-as-nails encounter for that particular crew. Oh well... sounds like you gave ample provision to the players so that they would know that occasionally they may have to run from an encounter. TPK, lesson...

Hey you guys, this is the "Ongoing Q&A with Gary Gygax" thread... if you want to debate about the merits of diceless gaming, why don't you start a new thread? Mr. Gygax has already gave an answer in regards. Now then... I am aware that you are very active on many boards Gary, and I could ask my...
