    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    I think vaguy010 misunderstood this to be a real-time Q&A. vaguy010, the good Col. happens by at his leisure and answers questions posted in this thread. Go ahead and post your questions, and check back over the next few days and hopefully he will have answered. And welcome to EN World!

    I asked about this on the Circvs and the answer had to do with using too much memory. Let me see if I can find a link. http://www.enworld.org/circvs/showthread.php?t=3649

    How old do you have to be to play Dnd?

    I'm going to stay out of the "obey your mother" argument, as that has been well covered. Your question was "How old do you have to be to play D&D?" As others have said, the answer depends entirely on the child. As I'm sure you are aware, one can play D&D at varying levels of depth, from a pure...

    Making fun of D&D

    I've done fantasy baseball, and had a good time with it. But I did not put in nearly as much time as some of the other players, and therefore I was not as up to speed on the obscure players. Kind of like not keeping up with all the splat books and supplements, so net being up to speed on the...

    Kudos to the nominees, and the honorable mentions! And countless thanks to the judges, and to Dextra, and all the others who give of their time to make the ENnies happen. As Pramas mentioned, you guys have helped to bring the ENnies from simple fansite awards to "without a doubt the most...

    Shuttle Launch in a Few Minutes

    We missed it, after trying to watch a couple days earlier. Just got too busy with Independence Day fun. Anyone know if a clip is online? My kids would love to see it.

    Has Anyone Ever Run a Single Classed Sorcerer?

    Played a sorc to 14th level, when the campaign ended recently. Had a blast, literally and figuratively. Would do it again, and probably will. I didn't want to give up skill points and feats to qualify for some contrived PrC. Between spell choices and metamagic, there was always something fun to...

    My son, Drogo

    Nice work. Glad you got him started. You have many fun times to look forward to together. I was putting off regular gaming with my sons, now ages 4, 6 and 8, until Gary Gygax gave me some great advise, and I made it my sig: "I urge you to make up a simplified version of the D&D game for play...

    The diagnosis is in

    Glad to hear you finally have a diagnosis, and it is something that looks to be pretty treatable. Best of luck getting on the road to recovery.

    Point buy

    I likes me some point buy. On edit: Forgot to say, I'm fine with 25-28 point buy. Don't get me wrong, I like rolling too. In OD&D I would feel strange doing anything but rolling 3d6 in order. There is something exciting about letting the dice decide your fate, right from the beginning. But I...

    D&D for my 5 and 6 year old-help please

    My sons, ages 4, (almost) 6, and 8 play with a slightly simplified C&C/D&D system. I don't worry about attacks of opportunity, and the more complicated rules of combat. They tell me what they want to do and I apply the rules. Like your kids, they all wanted something cool to start with, some...

    What is a GOOD rules light system?

    Another vote for C&C. My sons, ages 4, 6, and 8 are playing, so I'm thinking it is rules-light enough. And the price is right now too, only $10 for each of the books, although the players handbook is all you really need: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=166510

    Has D&D become too...D&Dish?

    If and when my kids move into the realm of religion in our game, we may start with just one god. But for now I am avoiding the subject all together. Take for instance the Harry Potter books. Plenty of magic and monsters, injury, death and healing, but no talk of religion. That is what I am...

    [D&D]No more crunch books for me

    I have not made a conscious decision to stop buying crunch, but I have found that my interests are more in the lines of settings and adventures these days. Part of this comes from playing OD&D. I find I am much more creative when I don't have a bunch of rules to get in the way. If I want to...

    Has D&D become too...D&Dish?

    It recently hit me that I disagree with the idea that wizards can not cast healing spells. I play D&D/C&C with my sons, ranging from age 4 to 8. At this point, I do not want to confuse them with the idea of mythical gods and the worship of these gods. So I think I am just doing away with the...
