Man, I am so buying that issue it ain't funny.

Hi, gary, We haven't chatted for a while so I hope all is well in your realm. In the meantime I have to ask: what's the deal with the Hall of Many Panes? I keep hearing that it's going to be released but then it gets delayed again and again. Are we going to see it anytime soon? I look forward...

And yet the game retains its original name.

It is likely that we will see JPII canonized in our lifetime.

Standing in the afternoon rain that often falls on Golden Gate park in April, watching a free acoustic concert with about a hundred other fans in 1991. That's the last time I saw Crowded House. Hester was awesome, whether he had a snare or the whole set-up. He was a great singer songwriter, too...

I too believe that chemistry is paramount to the harmony of a gaming group and wouldn't hesitate to remove a player with whom I do not get along. If, however, I were a player in another group and encountered friction with my fellow players, I would leave. It's as simple as that.

It becomes an interesting exercise when we start looking for things to which we might affix the label 'escapist.' One can argue that a novelist, for example, is in some respects an escapist since he creates an artificial world that his characters inhabit, but that sort of pursuit rarely, if at...

Good points, though I think the tricky part lies in determining one's motivations for such "diversions." Some people who play three times a week would not consider themselves hardcore gamers, and yet you could easily find someone who plays a few times a month who would say that he plays quite a...

I let my subscription run out a month ago. In my opinion, there's not enough 'fluff.' If we could see more setting specific information, especially for the World of Greyhawk, then I would be persuaded to come back into the subscriber fold. A classic setting like that deserves attention, and I...

Did anyone bother to check behind the shield of the Thayan Knight?

I like to include weird little wayward temples in my campaigns, so I'm always pulling out obscure deities with which to populate the landscape. I enjoy building the congregations from the ground up, so it's good to have a healthy back-log of gods to choose from. I especially liked the...

Keith, I have a question regarding Living Greyhawk. Will the absence of Polyhedron in Dungeon allow for more frequent installments of Greyhawk material such as the LGJ? Thanks, jokamachi

The changes sound great to me; I never got any use out of Polyhedron, anyway. More adventures for the rest of us D&D fanatics. Looking forward to that Greyhawk map, too.

Rent Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. It's full of great ideas, many of which I think would apply.

Some other posters touched on something I was going to say: The etymology may point to something older and less exciting than what we are looking for. Simply put, the word 'wizard' derives from the Middle English wise + ard, meaning a kind of philosoher, or sage. Such 'wizards' were invariably...

Another bump for those not in the know.

Dungeoneer's Survival Guide Manual of the Planes (1e and 3e) Book of Vile Darkness

Hey Gary, I seem to remember reading that you enjoyed wargaming in the early days before D&D, so I'm curious as to what kind of experience you have with miniatures. How much effort did you and your friends put into miniatures at that time? Did you paint them with great detail or were they...

That orc druid is one funky customer

Another source confirmed yesterday that our letters have called more attention to Greyhawk's current state of affairs. So if you haven't written a follow-up letter to Wizards, this might be a good time to do it. Any suggestion concerning Greyhawk is worth the attention of game designers, but...
