If that was directed toward me... As you have already reviewed my games from the late 1970s, assessed an 80% casualty rate, and cited 20+ non-PC characters in the party (very specific numbers generated from absolutely no real data) why should I distract you with facts? Feel free to continue...

Sour grapes. We made it all the way thru with no PC deaths (tho I won't say the same about NPCs, hirelings, henchmen, conjured critters, et al.), but at the finale couldn't add it up correctly. As lead mage I put up an anti-magic shell and we called it a draw. ::sigh:: I must note that we olde...

wb, dude. Had to go thru Chi on the return, eh? But doubtless too fatigued to revisit the olde haunts... I like Toronto a lot. In winter you can go all thru downtown without going outside, hotel to mall to restaurant and back. Take care of the leg and rest up. F

Roots As the guy tapped to start the RPGA (by Gary indirectly, through the TSR General Manager Mike Carr & Sales boss Will Niebling), I've been asked to drop by. Somebody got questions about Roots? ;) Frank Mentzer RPGA member # 0000000000002 (I gave #1 to Gary)

Hmm... maybe that refers to the time my good friends Gary Gygax and James M. Ward agreed to be ushers at my wedding... (a lejendary event to be sure). (edit: Yes, I know of the wedding mentioned in the olde Shadowlands promo blurb.)

I'll second that. :cool:

I dislike self-promotion on Gary's board (and we'll leave it at this, eh whot?), but... our standard 1/2 pound (8 oz) bag overflows one hand, roughly the size of two hands. The serving size is 1/4 of the package. (Reaonable unless you get addicted; we went through 6 bags during one 7-player...

Sure. That's to differentiate between ours and other foods that contain shortening (or margarine) and various chemicals like dough conditioners, mold retardants, shelf-life extenders, artificial colors/flavors, etc. PIE CRUST Cookie Sticks • Contents: Pastry Flour, Butter, Water, Granulated...

Like all-butter pie crust in 1"x4" sticks, each with some cinnamon sugar on top.

So when are the Trolls releasing that as a T-shirt?

Oh scholarly senescent sloth: In certain early TSR works if the 1970s, you sometimes wrote a Foreword, sometimes a Foreward, and sometimes a Forward. Was there a hidden message in such variations? -- ye nagge

Mini-giants This has certainly been asked before, but... In AD&D, why are kobolds "giant class"? F

Bah. You know full well, old friend, that all governments are created and maintained primarily to Hold Power Over Others, modified only by the cojoint purpose of maintaining themselves. And I would maintain that given that primary goal, all government is also therefore Evil... -- a...

Prolly depends on Gary's mood; he'll relish the gruesome details if he's irritable. But the angst is all the sweeter 'cause the cleric can't fix it in time. ;> As to the last... I think it's still June... F

Drat, I'll have to bring an extra shirt. An official Guardsman Of Helios, eh? Better wear your sunny face. I'm being pestered to bring baked goods, too. End of July is our summer peak, so we should have extra. Hey, have you & Rob been at conventions together, say in the past year or two...

Hey, leave Mary out of it. btw, I'll be at the LG con as well. Frank

Yeah, Immortals is pretty far Out There. If anyone's interested, we're talking about it now and then on Dragonsfoot.org. -- da riter

Well sure. Cash flow management adds flavor to any campaign. If you keep draining the characters' funds, it provides not only incentive for adventurous exploration but also a rationale for shoveling more to them. FM

I must demur, this being Gary's dais (albeit an oxymoronic living archive) and, anticipating the followup question, must also reluctantly concur with his earlier comment; I am quite busy these days on matters not involving Important Things (i.e. gaming), and cannot support a board of my own...
