You said your say. No one should bleed, no one should suffer, and until we can get past this us and them attitude we will remain unprogressed humans, sides drawn, fingers pointing, teeth gnashing. The worst elements from both of these sides will prevail as has always been the case in human...

You are wrong. Just as it would be wrong for someone to say, "If you support and befriend gays then you are against us." There was hope for the Gay Pride movement and it is not threatened by Ernie. He is not hunting you, you are hunting him. He's an ignorant, stupid person in this matter, but...

Did I accuse you of something? No. It's interesting to me from many different perspective. In a related thread to this topic I have read a post calling for the utter ruination of Ernie Gygax, and if that were not possible then as a consolation prize just him not making money and being...

Mobs do not preserve, they destroy.

Kyrrin Eis who is a dear friend of mine and a great designer was invited to NTRPGCon twice by my recommendation; and Jennell Jaquays.

Wow. You might want to put away the broad brush as you just condemned en toto several generations of people including myself, my brother and anyone we played with including Ernie. Perhaps this is, in part, where the divide begins? Stereotyping works both ways and I dare say in this that you...

Good grief. Not being known out of the gate is bad enough; but being in a negative news cycle right out of the gate is the worst case scenario. I don't foresee clear sailing ahead as they are already in the shoals.

Well worth the investment! They'll suck you into a Land which is detailed and fast paced, with tightly drawn characters galore. DC managed to cull this amazing breadth of information into their two books. An Olympian feat!

Thanks. It was a pleasure. I just never had the time with the rise of D&D/TSR to complete my delving into OZ, what with 14 books to reference, and Baum packed tons of new stuff into each and every book. That the DC folks managed it is a leap in itself, a milestone, and for that I thank them!

I supported the Adventures in OZ in another way, full disclosure, I wrote the Foreword for it after being approached to do so. I requested what they had and took a while in reviewing before agreeing. It's a long favorite of mine (I.e., my Land of OZ Greyhawk Castle Level). The immensity of...

Apparently Luke distanced himself from the onset. But it's damage control that needn't have happened. Like I said, it all stinks of haste.

I wish Jim Ward scads of luck with Giant Lands. Sounds very cool. My final take on this is still percolating, but for now I would say Ernie has misstepped, and uncharacteristically, into many different piles of s*** of his own creation. TSR3, IM(professional)O, is making many claims that...

And the beat goes on...

It's all relative, the time and the two brothers. ;)

Not quite correct, but half right. Ernie played from the earliest days (1972 onward); Luke was age 2 when we started playtesting but by age 8 (1978) Gary was weaning him into his run with Melf.

Ernie is listed as Executive VP. Jeff Leason is also an Exec. Then there are two I've never heard of before. From their twitter feed: "reformed in 2020 by Justin LaNasa, Ernest G. Gygax Jr, Jeff R. Leason & Stephen E. Dinehart." From the BG Geek announcement: "The team includes Justin...

Understood. Karma can be tough, karma can be a long road. But it always prevails so I've noted.

Gary, very early on, was also a precinct captain during the reelection of Democrat Mayor Daly in Chicago. Gary was very accepting of others and their POVS. Lin Carter once referred to him as, "Gygax the gregarious." A lot of head-hunters these days. I fear the divisiveness lies with those who...

errh.. eh... umm... no comment

Who's got the snacks? And why aren't they sharing them?! ;)
