Gary, do you have any antectdotes or commentary regarding the artist Erol Otus and his works?

I'd like the map if it featured a 5' or 10' grid

Don't be subtle. Have the party find the body of an adventurer who had been exploring the dungeon. On his body is a journal, mentioning using the keys for safe resting. Maybe even a key on the body as well?

Thanks Gary. I didn't figure it to be anything complex...I just enjoy hearing about the origins of your beasties. I recently read 'The Face in the Abyss', and enjoyed coming across one of the possible inflluences for one of my favorite D&D monster.

ditto.

Mr Gygax What would you be able to tell us about the inspiration and role of troglodytes and lizardmen?

He's been known to knock someone out with one punch if he suprises them...

DAmn straight campaign flavour is sancrosanct in my campaign. My campaign is very pulp swords & sorcery/weird tales. RE Howard, CA Smith, Fritz Lieber, Warlord comics, Beastmaster, etc. A halfling paladin in spiked armor with a spiked chain....just doesn't work for that. (okay...the spiked...

For a few seconds I was unsure if this thread was about gaming or dating.....

Okay, here's my rewrite: "..... The cult of ODD, a band of evil fighting men lead by the Chaotic Lord Diaglus controls the northern shores. Diaglus is known for his adherence to the cult’s simple tenet of “ODD is the only true religion. All the other religions are only poor imitations of the...

Just came across this: "..... The cult of ODD, a band of evil fighters lead by the Evil Lord Diaglus controls the northern shores. Diaglus is known for his adherence to the cult’s simple tenet of “ODD is the only true religion. All the other religions are only poor imitations of the real...

Yeah, in my 3.5 game they're 1st ed "Hobbits" and Gnomes...and neither are available as a player race. My campaign is a bloody, gritty, pulpy sword & sorcery game, and generally midget protagonists don't work in that genre.

To play devil's advocate, there are game balance issues with allowing what you described. A hypothetical situation I could imagine is that you have Character A, a Ranger like the one you described, and Character B, a Rogue character who has maxed out his ranks in Craft(Trapmaking), and has spent...

1 Henchman & 2 Mules

Haha, no doubt. If I was interested in realism I'd use Unisystem, or Call of Cthulhu or GURPS....there is no place for realism in the world of levels & classes.(& beholders & raisedead) I know that messageboards tend to be sewers, but I am amazed at the hot blooded reactions that simple...

Wow, as someone who is trying to make a fantasy setting with "low magic" and rare magic items for players, I can't wait to get my hands on this. I just may hold off on revamping the charactre classes for my campaign. Iron Lore + The Wilderlands Boxed Set = Tonnes of pulpy CAS/REH goodness come...

Wow, I amazed at how furious this debate has turned...I'm afraid if I started talking more about my house rules someone head would explode or something. Anyways, I'm glad that in the 21st century theres so many experts at fighting for your life with archaic weapons here, I wouldn't want to meet...

To be absolutely clear here..I got this idead from the Mongoose d20 Conan ruleset... I plan on changing the rules of my D&D game so that character with a dex modifier higher than their Str modifier may use their Dex modifier for melee attacks with light/finesseable weapons and unarmed attacks...

Excellent point, now it's official IMC.
