Well, Gygax today isn't really doing the same kind of thing he did back in the 70s, so its not really fair to say that. I wonder if Gary published short 1E dungeons on his own (or for GG or OSRIC) if they'd sell. I bet he would make a killing. Imagine limited editions. $$$ :D $$$ It'd be...

Emirikol....GREAT avitar. ;)

I actually agree Gary is all those things (verbose, convoluted and counterintuitive) in his writing style....but, (in my best William Shatner)...."he is...oh so much more". :D

Fair enough. Remember though, some comparison is going to be needed (just as if I was going to define and discuss the merits of impressionism, I might need to compare pre-impressionists to impressionists: "the impressionists were better at xyz," kind of like describing to someone what white...

I have no idea. :confused: Habbit I guess, and no ones ever asked. There, I'm reformed. :D

Q: "I recently acquired two hard-plastic, pre-inked, polished, & "too biased for Lou but good enough for anyone else" 20-siders numbered 0 to 9 twice. All the numbers are inked the same color, so they're effectively only 20-sided d10s." Fisher, you got a link? Maybe a pic? Thanks! ;)

Give me a quote.

Wayne: "The 'arguement' is that the idea that there is an overarching message conveyed by the art in the various editions of the PHB and DMG is just silly." As far as I know, no one is claiming there is "an overarching message" to early 1E art. There just saying it captured the mood (ie. a...

Foster, I'm almost positive these dice were not TSR. I think they were sold individually, from a GREAT hobby shop called 1701 in Orlando FL (though I'm sure they were sold nationally). I found the quality of these dice to be higher then TSRs (infact, my friends who had the TSR sets were always...

I also tend to make magic more expensive as PCs go up in level. This is a great way to keep your players relatively poor. I try not to make this incremental increase in prices noticable. Oh, also, do you make magic potions etc. more available to magic user and cleric PCs (since they'd...

I never new that. :)

Hey Melan, nice post! (or repost) ;) Melan wrote: "The earlier stable of artists were, on the other hand, talented amateurs. Let's face it, the late David Sutherland was never good with perspective, technical details or realistic human figures. Erol Otus was a dysmal failure if we measure him...

Thanks Foster, thats a great source. I'm not crazy about the color (white) but hey, there the original. I'll be ordering 2 packs I think. BTW, I still have a purple, orange, and blue. Had a yellow that was always are D20, but that die along with God knows how many others were eaten by our...

I loved the dice that were available when I first got into 1E (late 70s). Do you remember how they were heavier and softer then the dice they sell today. ALso they were 20 sided repeating each number twice (so they made your 1-20 as well by coloring one set of numbers in red...

You also have to consider whats being painted or illustrated. If the image is of some stiff mowhawked tattooed elf with huge thighs in skin tight pants that croch ride, holding some contrived squat pose, with giant ears staring out at the viewer with some cheesy expression, in portrait...

Dykstrav: "I saw ONE cavalier in the entire time I've been playing 1E (played ably by a Frenchman who was determined to convince us that lances are really cool weapons)." :D

Q: " So you just end it with the implied assertion that the reason Storm Raven isn't able to agree with you is that he is not listening, or at least not hard enough? Followed by a insinuation that his emotions have led him astray without dealing with the merits of the topic itself? " Look this...
