This is an excerpt from the podcast Imaginary Worlds, where Paul La Farge talks about the time he sat down and played a game of D&D with Gygax. Starts around 24:35 and is about 3 minutes long. https://soundcloud.com/emolinsky/rolling-the-twenty-sided-dice Interviewer is Eric Molinsky (EM)...

The archmages in Jack Vance's Rhialto the Marvelous all cast Time Stop multiple times, so they must be level 18 plus. As a fun side note, let us not forget that the elder god Cthulhu (all praise his name) was defeated by a sailboat.

I completely agree with your preconceived notion on the state of D&D (and yes I mean you, you superior internet denizen). Please fill this post with XP and Laughs.

What city is this in?

This is turning into a Shakespearean tragedy. (I can't say Gygaxian, there is a trademark on that.)

If you don't like Bounded Accuracy as is, maybe you can add double stat bonuses to the PCs abilities. You could also have them trade class special abilities for extra to-hit (or skill) bonuses-similar to how choosing between feats and a stat bump.

No, I think you need him. If you didn't need him you would just put him on ignore.

We need iconoclasts.

Just don't take his advice about online poker.

The Gord the Rogue novels had some elements in common to the Rage of Demons storyline. Iuz seems like a natural choice. (For those who haven't read the novles the basic plot is that the demon lords take sides in looking for an ancient artifact of Tharizdun. Grazzt, Yeenoghu, and Kostchtchie...

If you look at the 2e release schedule it had all kinds of books that support the game but give no story lines. Such as, Castles Guide "DMGR2: The Castle Guide (1990), by Grant Boucher, Troy Christensen, Arthur Collins, and Nigel Findley, was the second book in the Dungeon Master's Guide Rules...

The wood stirrers at Starbucks can be used as a ruler for the minis to determine how far they can move. Their length is roughly equivalent to a 30 ft move. I sometimes do this when I use felt for a battle mat.
