    Slate article on Gary's legacy (Merged with Gary Gygax Slandered)

    My bad, sorry, I just lost me head. I'm kind of sick of all the bad mouthing of Gary.

    Slate article on Gary's legacy (Merged with Gary Gygax Slandered)

    See, the whole point of D&D in the early days was a set of loose rules that the DM could change. A more ridge set of rules would end up bogging down the game. I don't want to pick a fight with 3.5 versus 1st edition, but the additional rules, more at the higher levels, of 3.5 really bog things...

    Slate article on Gary's legacy (Merged with Gary Gygax Slandered)

    Um, okay, I guess I never awarded XP for good role-playing or resolving a battle without blood shed or gave my favorite rouge a limp and a fear of dying alone. Whatever dude. You just rock on to your own tune. What a jerk...

    Slate article on Gary's legacy (Merged with Gary Gygax Slandered)

    It is important to note, that those role-playing games he does like, wouldn't be around if Gary had not invented D&D. Just another idiot trying to make a name for himself.

    In regards to Gary Gygax, A thank you to all of you.

    It was an honor to meet one of many of Gary's friends at his funeral. I know what you mean. That part of Wisconsin feels a bit more dark now :(

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    I had one assassin PC who crawled down the tight tunnel and fell in the put of bones. Rather than try to escape, he decided to search for loot in the bones. Of course the trap door above closed in on him and he died a slow death of starvation. Some people are greedy. :D :p :lol:

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    In my games, I never let on that it is coming, because they generally don't want to play it. In my games, they usually have henchmen and a back up character just in case. When I run the Tomb I have some pre-generated cahracters that come along as NPCs and the Pcs can take over a NPC or make a...

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    Yeah, I even posted on that one a long time ago. If you scroll down on the first page to EvilGM's post where he says, "Worst. Dungeon. Ever." that is his way of saying, "DM-Rocco put us through this, I lost three characters, went insane and began grappling party members through the naked arch."...

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    Before it was popular on the web, before the web, I did have someone cast magic missile at the darkness :) This is a link to the story hour I wrote about he last party I ran through the Tomb. It was a lot of fun, for me, and a lot of death. The problem is that many had done the tomb in the...

    Tell me your tale about the Tomb of Horrors

    I was reading this thread here and it reminded me about all the times I ran that adventure. I have ran that adventure about 21 times and I love it, It is my all time favorite. So, it begs the question, what are your experiences with the adventure? How did your players handle it and what fun...

    The Chaser's War on Gary Gygax

    I thought the Mord remark was great. That is pretty much how I picture any nerd story or metagamer. You can tell this is humor and not meant as disrespect but instead as homage. I never heard a nerd write about another nerd with such passion :D :p :lol:

    Dragon Roots 0: 4/5

    I am getting a lot of positive reviews and they are scattered across many threads. I have linked most of them them all on the website at www.dragonroots.net for those that are on the fence.

    Pitch me your ulitmate D&D movie

    Yeah, but it was a CG thing, no stunmen :p

    Pitch me your ulitmate D&D movie

    Yes, a little. However, there was enough suspension of desbielf that one or two over the top moments didn't totally ruin it for me. Oh, and Sam and Frodo weren't fighting with lightsabers an inch above a lava lake. In the real world, they would have died that close to a lava flow, just from...

    Gygax doesn't matter?

    His creation is greater than any one nerd or any one game. If not for Gary, you wouldn't have things like World of War Craft or Evercrack. You wouldn't even have movies like the Lion the Witch and the Wadrobe or The Lord Of the Rings. Yes, those authors would have been famous and a side note...

    Dragon Roots 0: 4/5

    Well, I would love to say in ten years we will be just like Dragon, but, I guess I have to take baby steps towards that platform. I have an ambitious plan of a quarterly magazine for the first year, bi monthly for the second year and monthly for year three. I don't need to make a ton of money...

    DRAGON ROOTS Magazine fact page

    I'm glad you liked it. Note: subscriptions will get some bonuses, like for our next issue, which will be hard to market in the stores. I understand the shipping is pricey. I wish I could lower it. Send me your e-mail with your address. I'm not above hand delivery for a smaller price on...

    Taking the Game Back to its Roots

    I was just in Lake Geneva for Gary's Funeral. I looked for a store and didn't see one. I would love a chance to sell the magazine closer to the heart land of D&D:)
