Colonel, I recently reread the Gord the Rogue series of novels (quite good, btw although I need "City of Hawks" and "Dance of Demons" to complete my collection). I really enjoyed them, especially for the image of Greyhawk and Oerth that they give the reader. However, one thing has bugged me for...

:lol: :lol: :lol: That's classic! Hey! BTW, who played Murlynd? I'm assuming the PC version is different than the Quasi-Deity found in the Greyhawk Glossography. Gray Mouser

Colonel, I was wondering about your own early forays into roleplaying. When I started out (as a wee lad of probably 10 ir so - the memory is the first thing to go!) I remember going through several PC's before being able to have one survive for any length of time! (Hey, I was young! Run into...

Colonel, I was just perusing an old Dragon and came upon your thoughts for a 2nd edition of AD&D. I will avoid any comment as to my thoughts on the post-Gygaxian 2nd edition and ask this question instead: You mentioned in the article the removal of monks to an oriental-themed campaign setting...

LicheS? RodS of Cancellation? As in plural? Holy cow, Gary, what did you do to warrant such a response?!? Running a single lich intelligently is, imo, more than enough to worry even hardened adventurers. BTW, did your PC's make it out alright? Gray Mouser

Gary, Speaking of hobbits, hobgoblins, etc. I was wondering how Orcs made it into the D&D family of games (and every other fantasy RPG I can think of off hand). After all, the Tolkien estate didn't want you to use the term "hobbit" (although JRRT used "halfling" as well, although to a lesser...

Hey Gary. No worries about clearing things up in the DMG. I'm sure that it's something that can easily be clarified in the second edition of AD&D.... WHAT? I can dream can't I? (Besides, I'm still waiting for a worthy update of my favorite game.) Heh, heh. Actually, I'm looking forward to...

Gary, Thanks so much for answering my question! That's basically what I thought, but I have debated this point with several people over the years and have played it where M-U's must find ALL of their spells and where they get a new spell when they gain the ability to cast higher level spells...

Gary, I have a question that has long puzzled me. It's about PC's acquiring Magic-User spells. IN the DMG (p. 39) it states: "Naturally, magic-user player characters will do their utmost to acquire books of spells and scrolls in order to complete their own spell books. To those acquired, the...

Hi Gary, I was recently rereading your old Gord the Rogue short story in DRagon #100, "At Moonset Blackcat Comes." In the story you have Gord and Rexfelis playing "Dragon Chess" and there are rules for the game directly following the story. I'm wondering of you actually played the game to any...

The Keep on the Borderlands, bar none! Gray Mouser

Gary, I just thought of something. Any chance you could do a write up of Mordenkainen, et. al.'s adventures in Maure Castle for Dragon? I don't know if you've already dome this as I'm not a subscriber and haven't read the magazine itself for many years (stopped after I couldn't take 2e any more...

Gary, I was just rereading "Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure" (kudos to Rob Kuntz and you on the published version of that dungeon, btw) and noticed that all of the NPC's in your original party are followers of Boccob and/or Zagyg. Yrag even being a worshipper of Zagyg alone! I'm wondering if...

Greyhawk PC Wizards Gary, I know that Bigby the Mage started out as an apprentice to Mordenkainen (after, I have heard, being captured by Mordy!). I was wondering, were there ever any other PC mages that had dealing either with their former masters or who acquired any apprentices of their own...
