    How were you introduced to RPGs?

    Leafing through a copy of A2 SECRET OF THE SLAVERS STOCKADE during lunch one day at school. The people who played were certainly not my friends, though.

    What if you brought 4E back to 1970?

    I'm currently constructing a Tipler Cylinder out of unsold 3.5 books; when its complete (should have enough mass by next Wednesday), I'll head back and see what happens. Note: I'm just going to tell Gary to fire Brian & Kevin.

    So why are you at ENWorld?

    It's where Gary had a huge discussion thread. Now, it's just out of habit.

    What if you brought 4E back to 1970?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the OP meant "1974" and "a manuscript of" not boxes and boxes of 4E books and the year 1970. Because if the latter is the case I think you'd have people writing you off like a nutcase: nobody would be "in to" RPGs and the 2008 copyright (plus the mostly...

    Which one do you prefer your character suffer? Death vs Rust Monster vs Level Drain

    There's an option here that isn't mentioned, and one that merits being part of the discussion, and that's stat drain. Case in point: last night during a foray into the third level of the TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL, the most illustrious cleric of the party, Jarlon Barakson, encountered the Lamia...

    Real world clothing stinks

    My wife was in the SCA and before we were married she and I would go to the get-drunk-and-camp things ("events") but we both fully recovered. I have to say that as pajamas, one of those blousy things and matching pants are great, especially on cooler evenings. Once that Florida sun gets up...

    Dragon Con: A Sight of the Schism in action

    Man. I can't speak for anyone else's experience, but what got me hot under the collar was when back in late '98 early '99 when I started getting back in to D&D after a decade-plus hiatus, asking around, putting out feelers as to where to get books, looking for information (on the wretched...

    Bad ideas in gaming

    Your kung-fu is weak, and now I will destroy you all, for I give you: LARS VON TRIER'S ANTICHRIST, THE GAME. CHAOS. REIGNS.

    How to respectfuly disagree with EGG?

    Later iterations of D&D were a rebuke of many of Gary's design philosophy; playing those editions in favor of those authored by him is a succinct disagreement enough, no?

    non switchers: what can wotc do to win you back?

    Realistically? Nothing. Absolutely zip. I'm not even in the "well he plays older editions but still buys minis and tiles". I have tons of Reaper minis, both pre-painted plastic and painted (and unpainted :( ) metal, plus loads of DWARVEN FORGE. Unrealistically? Re-release older editions of...

    Honoring, Respecting, and Quoting Gary--Some Concerns (let's make sure we are honest)

    I'm certainly not unaware of the irony in the miscommunication department here; however, I found it the most salient quote to use, hence my use of it. I felt that more quotation in my signature would have bordered on the ridiculous, and that what I'd picked out was direct and to the point. I...

    Honoring, Respecting, and Quoting Gary--Some Concerns (let's make sure we are honest)

    Hi, John R. Troy. I, (Bill Silvey), too knew and worked with Gary off and on for a little bit before he passed. I find your insinuation that I used that quote from Gary as support for piracy and all of that "information wants to be free" quite frankly baffling. But I see rather than PMing me...

    What do we know about 'Revenge of the Giants'?

    I'll pass for the time being; I'm still trying to wash the stink of Sean Reynolds' terrible LIBERATION OF GEOFF "sequel" off of my hands. Talk about sending a clown in to do a man's job... But anyway. Once some reviews roll in, then I'll decide whether to pick it up (hey, good maps are good...

    Help me name a Firey Macguffin

    How is Old School not at least related to nostalgia?

    But I said "smiley-faces shambles"! I...I don't know what happened! No, no, all kidding aside, point taken. Points, rather. And adhered to.

    Help me name a Firey Macguffin

    Man I drove through McDonalds this morning and got me one of those new Fiery Egg MacGuffins. Damn thing's killin' me.

    Why The Niches?

    The niches exist because there simply are delineations between different play styles and rule sets. AD&D!=4e except that they share the "D&D" moniker and the names (but not the actual functionality of) some game mechanics. If I say "I play D&D, let's play D&D" and you break out the 4e rules...
