Happy belated birthday, you old warhorse! Gary- In regards to the Beholder, there is an obvious pun regarding it's eye. Any funny anecdotes about it? Was the "Eye of the Beholder" cliche' central to it's creation? Also, how did Mike Carr become involved with TSR? Was publishing Fight in...

:D I'm blessed. I run an AD&D game (just started T1-4) w/ a new party, and play in a 3.5 game set in Dragonlance. I'm playing an elf. A Wizard even. Talk about diametrically opposed, hell I don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror anymore! :p I've also started a monthly...

QFT. Run/play the game that fits the participants around the table, damning the rest of the games in existence. Just keep in mind the others are doing the same. :lol: Personally, I enjoy an occasional game which is vastly different than the games I run or play in. Influx of new ideas or...

No. I have GameDAR. I'm not kidding. However, people are often surprised to find that I am a D&D player.

That might be the most uninformed, yet hilarious thing I've ever read on this board.

:p I fumbled my Pick Pockets roll, what else can I say?

No. Why? I'm not playing for somewhere to play, period. The amenities at my home are fine.

Good luck, Mr. Quixote! If you slay that windmill, PM me, as I have a few others for you to tilt against. :p

I flipped through Topher's copy at LGGC3. You guys should be proud of yourselves. It's a gorgeous book.

As I stated, because I play games at Cons I normally don't. In the rare case I do play or run a game that is in the normal rotation in my gaming group it is to a) game with specific people, who I don't normally game with, b) run a game for others who don't get a chance to play it, c) A & B...

I can hook you up with an invite, but I don't know about the dinner. I'm not very active on DA right now.

Print them out, get one of the 1" hole punches, punch 'em out, then glue to 1" fender washers, like these: http://www.amazon.com/FENDER-WASHER-Box-Qty-100/dp/B0006486TC If you want to get fancy, you can then glue felt to the bottom.

Yep. The bottom line is, well, the bottom line. WotC must believe that the resources (staff time and money) needed to do Origins will not bring a good enough return on the investment.

Well, that's not totally your fault, we didn't get a chance to finish it, did we? LGGC3 was a blast! Played Chainmail and successfully helped to defend the Moathouse (yes -- that one. I now know how the moathouse in T1/T1-4 got ruined) from the forces of good long enough for the Dark Lord to...

For me, it's mostly to game, though hanging out with friends is a close second. For example, I only play CarWars at GenCon. It's also an opportunity to try to play game that I would otherwise never play. This year, I'm playing Deadlands (the original), for example. I also try to play games...

Yep, a sheet of plexi/acrylic is used by all sorts of wargamers who play game that come w/out mounted maps.

Too bad they've temporarily sold out for a long time. I'd go with the easel pad, myself. You should be able to do better than $15 per pad, though. I think I paid less than $20 for a 2 pack of 24x30 1" grid pads a few years ago. How about one of the members of your gaming group? Can they...

GAH! I'm already schedule up for that time slot! What size hexes you using, 1.5"?

In D&D, I make 3 attacks per round, and with a high BAB, I usually hit at least once. In real life, I can't kill this effing fly in my office, and if I don't soon, I'm reaching for the shotgun. :]

Yeah, I've run 4 campaigns using the '83 boxed set (my snapshot of choice), and each one has been very different from each other in tone and content. I personally don't understand the gnashing of teeth over GH. I use it as a framework to build on. I really don't like most of the post 1985...
