Good news about the compilation project, Colonel. I hope Rob is a quick typist! ;) Speaking of the LGGC, how did things go? I haven't seen a write up of it here or at dragonsfoot and was curious as to how things went. Did you run an AD&D or OD&D game or an LA session? Any memorable gaming...

Well, in order for you not have to recount those misadventures here, I'll inquire as to any update on the possibility of seeing those columns published as a stand alone volume. I'm not a reader of Dragon these days (although I picked up my first Dungeon ever a while back wehn Rob had an updayed...

Yes, it seems so. In fact, one of them makes it a habit to seemingly go out of his way to annoy the NPC's who offer the party quests in the first place. "Sure we'll look for your lost wand, Mage and take the money you offer us. But shouldn't we get more gold? I mean that wand must be special to...

Heh, my online game sometimes reminds me of the illustrious (mis)adventures of the Black Adder. Of course, they don't need Baldric, being quite capable of pulling off both the coniving and the misfortune on their own :D Gray Mouser

In the words of the Black Adder: "Oh, bugger." Gray Mouser

Heh, Wodehouse is one of the few authors that gets me laughing out loud when I read him :D Gray Mouser

Indeed, Happy Borthday, Colonel! And many more! Gray Mouser

Nice! Any ideas of the time line of the possible short story? As for the reprints, are the Troll Lords planning on keping the character and place names as they are (being changed in the latter volumes due to contractual problems with TSR), or will they all be standardized throughout the books...

Speaking as a fan of both D&D and JRRT, yes it does seem that the popularity of these two will cause some mythological confusion for many people in the foreseeable future. Just consider it an up close and personal example of "globalization." Heh, I tossed the idea of such a troll around for my...

Uh, no, I must have missed that one, I'm afraid. I can only hope that someone has posted the footage on the web somewhere for all our enjoyment ;) The upcoming Convention sounds like it's going to be fun. It's too bad I'm going to miss it (actually, I've never been to a gaming con of any kin...

Damn, it's stuff like this that really makes me wish I was able to attend. Well, that and seeing Gary dressed as a pumpkin, of course :uhoh: Gray Mouser

Hey, looks good, but how about a real troll button. You know the kind... "horrid carnivores... loathsome... thin and rubbery." Did I leave any descriptives out? ;) Gray Mouser

Heh, I see. So how close was Fisher to the Gray Mouser in your estimation? As for the Gray Mouser's ability (or lack thereof) at magic, his disintegration of the mages in "The Lord's of Quarmall" is one of my favorite episodes, especially since they were the wrong mages :lol: Gray Mouser

Thanks Gary, that's actually quite a bit clearer now! Gray Mouser PS No wonder my namesake never made it as a mage, this stuff's troublesome ;)

Thanks for answering my questions, Gary, I appreciate it. However, there is one thing I'd like you to clarify if you could. Since you give limits to the number of spells contained in each spell book by the spells' level, how would you determine this number if the spells therein were of various...

Last Spell Book Question (for now...) OK, here's my final spell book question (of the day). UA states that standard spell books can contain "up to 36 cantrips, 24 spells of 1st-3rd level, up to 16 spells of 4th-6th level, or up to 8 spells of 7th-9th level" (p. 79). Travelling spell books, on...

Heh, another Spell-related question, Colonel. In Uneartherd Arcana you list the value of standard spell books as 500 Experience Points "per spell level contained therein" (p. 79). Does this mean that if a spell book contained 5 first level spells it would be worth 2,500 XP? I assume that's the...

Hi Gary, I was wondering recently about how you handled Material Spell Components in your Greyhawk Campaign. I know some DM's simply ignore them. On the other hand, I seem to recall an article in Dragon some time ago about purchasing them in a "magic store" (a concept I don't particularly like...

Ah, now there's one of my favorite sayings. Nothing like a good bottle of sake to go with the sushi and sashimi! Gray Mouser

Well, seeing as how the Gauntelt illo. in the V&V book was one of the things that got me interested in the game in the first place I'll definitely have to give LL a look see. You know, I think I recall a friend of mine who was a New Mutants fan and one of our V&V group point that picture out...
