Indeed, and that was something that I as a novice player really appreciated :) As I grew older and actually began reading Dante it always made me a bit nostalgic for the MM descriptions of devils. Along those lines, was there any reason for switching the ice-cold 9th circle of Dante's Inferno...

Hmmm. I thought that you retained the IP to your own PC's after the split with TSR. Perhaps I came to this conclusion because of the deal you made with them being able to continue the Gord books and your having included such personages. In any event, "Oh, bugger." Gray Mouser

I'll keep a good thought (and a prayer) that the manuscript is found, as I'd love to read more Nehwon material. I really like the idea of focusing on Ningauble and Sheelba, too, as stories reolving around mages are rather interesting (I did rather enjoy Rhialto the Marvellous); which is part of...

In the words of the Black Adder, "Oh, bugger." Well, it looks like the adventures of Mordenkainin and Bigby will just have to take place in Yggsburgh, or Khalibrun even. :) Seriously, though, I really enjoyed seeing Mordenkainen, Tenser, Ombi, Eclavdra, et. al. in the Gord stories. Gave them...

Colonel, Thanks for the bibliography. I'll have to keep an eye out on amazon to see if I can score any of the books you mention. It's a shame about misplacing the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser manuscript. Leiber is one of my favor S&S authors (obviously :) ) and I'd love to see what you had penned...

Colonel, Interesting commenst about your having published sci-fi and horror stories. Can you share the titles of these tales as well as where/when they were published? I'm aware of your fantasy stories (apart from the Gord books, of course) but am not familiar with these other stories. Gray Mouser

Hey Colonel, I was just wondering about the WoGH setting. I'm sure we all have our favorite parts of the Flanaess, around which we either base our Oerth campaigns or to which we just have a certain attraction (I'm rather partial to the Free City of Greyhawk, Furyondy, as well as some of the...

What? Devas like angels? You mean the winged figure in the MM II that was an other-planar minion of the powers of weal were meant to resemble angels? That's crazy talk, I tell you! ;) Actually, I rather liked Devas, Solars and (IIRR) Planatars. It did seem, however, that the Solar could give a...

Anyway, to kind of get back on toic, does anyone remember a Part XIII to this Q&A thread? What happened to it? Gray Mouser

Why, I do believe you missed the winking emoticon in my post :D Actually, in my field I have to be extremely conversant with histrical-religious information. Of course, for a more modern example I could've just mentioned the continuing Hindu attacks on Christians in India. Gray Mouser

Hmmm, I thought polytheists and pantheists were supposed to be more accepting of diversity than monotheists. Yet another shattered presumption! :( ;) BTW, wasn't there at one point a Part XIII to this Q&A thread? What everhappened to old number 13? Is it now defunct? Gray Mouser

New poster? Well, if you mean me, I post over there under a different name. Hmm, I'll have to check that out. Some of the campaign journals tend to get a bit tedious (mostly because they aren't my campaign, of course ;) ) but I do like some of them. IIRC, Dungeon Delver had a great write up of...

Welcome back, Colonel. I'm glad to hear you're feeling much better and am hoping you are back to 100% soon. Hearing that you've managed to somehow make progress on the CZ project while recovering form your bout with shingles was also great news, of course :D I noticed you had done some posting...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks, Colonel! Gray Mouser

Hell Hounds and Rings of Fire Resistance Colonel, I was recently perusing the description of the Ring of Fire Resistance in the DMG and noticed this sentence: A check of the MM reveals, however, that Hell Hounds only do 1 hit point of damage per hit die with their breath weapon, i.e., 4-7...

Thanks for the answer, Gary. Awarding experience points for actually freeing captives is also very interesting. While I had considered awarding experience points for treasure received as a reward I had not considered giving out any for freeing said captive inthe first place! Gray Mouser

Hey Colonel, I have a question regarding awarding Experience Points in 1e AD&D. If a PC gains a reward of, say, freeing a captive from a dungeon, instead of actually looting the treasure from a monster's lair does said PC gain Experience for it? So, if a party frees a cpative merchant from a...

What? Something on wikipedia being inaccurate? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say! ;) Gray Mouser

Hey Gary, thansk for the info regarding Mage Guilds. The differences between AD&D and LA are interesting in this regard, especially. Gray Mouser

Hey Gary, don't forget my question re: Mage Guilds, please! :) Gray Mouser
