By the way, here's a copy of the strip hosted on ImageShack. I think some people may appreciate. (For the record, given that Rich Burlew's strip's popularity has consistently been too much for his server, it could be a good thing if the future threads like this one would always provide it. You...

Ah. That's going to be a problem, given he's already dead. ;)

I think "burritos" is a diminutive form of "burros."

Legolas is not a Noldor.

Of course, given the interviewers, Gygax wasn't going to say "I hate Tolkien and tried to limit lotrish influence as much as possible." :D Point is, D&D elves are not LotR elves. You could make a case they're closer to Hobbit elves, maybe... But that's it.

Quoting myself:

This analogy would be very apt if there were many long-lived people (elves, maybe?) who were there at the time and would still be there now, refusing to accept that time has changed and still behaving like mass human sacrifices are something to do every week end. 'Cause, you know, people who...

I object to your use of the word "planning" here. Redcloak was planning, Xykon was watching his teevo. Xykon is powerful enough to not care about planning. This may be his undoing... If there are a few powerful priests in the SG. It's not impossible -- people have been harping on the court...

If Xykon wants to destroy the gate, then why is he bothering with that whole Azure City sidetrek, given that he already had two destroyed gates (in Lirian's forest and in Dorukan's dungeon)? And also, why was he considering both destructions as inconvenient setbacks? Xykon doesn't want to...

I did not say that. Elves could have had ear shaped like saxophones in his vision for all I care. I was just saying that I don't remember Tolkien explicitely describing the shape of elven ears in LotR or The Hobbit, so people using "D&D elves have pointy ears" as an argument for "D&D elves are...

What about replacing that by Hexblade (CW) instead?

Go to your local anthropology museum with a baseball bat, and start bashing the collections there to experiment. :p

Actually, dragons have some rule support for a claim that they don't create waste. "A dragon’s metabolism operates like a highly efficient furnace and can metabolize even inorganic material. Some dragons have developed a taste for such fare." Quoth the Monster Manual. The Draconomicon has more...

Where did Tolkien say elves had pointy ears, again? (Related question, where did Tolkien say orcs were green? But there's fewer people thinking green orcs originated from LotR.)

And apparently, he never read The Hobbit, where a bunch of elves (of the exact same ethnie as Legolas, they're his kins) get completely drunk on HUMAN wine (no silliness about "feywine" or whatever that's more potent than what mere mortals can stand), so drunk that Bilbo manages to free the...

Well, all the people that play in the Forgotten Realms, for example. And everyone else who abide by the cliché of elves as the "most ancient and powerful race." Why should fey-like, chaotic, whimsical eternal adolescents be the most powerful race anyway? By the way, though I take the "most...

The MT is in the SRD. That said, she could be Clr/Wiz (or DN)/MT/TN... Let's give her three level in each (I'll just assume without checking that it's possible), makes her level 12, and a decent threat.

I don't like how they're allowed to be Lawful Evil and yet be considered of Chaotic Good alignment. Also, I don't like how they'll always do everything they can to hog the spotlight in every campaign setting.

He's morphologically speaking a skeleton. He could keep a lot of things in, say, his ribcage.

No, that's Ronald Reagan.
