    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Gary, Someone may have asked this before, but I cannot resist throwing the hand-grenade into the china shop. Drow. Was the original intent to create a reace of evil elves? Or just to create a race of sub-terrainian elves with dark skin and kewl abilities? (And those nifty little hand-crossbows!)

    evil elves and good drow

    Dinkeldog, I did try Earthdawn. I was a Beta tester back when they were still calling it Urthdawn. (*GAG!*)

    Repainting Miniatures question?

    For the Testors you are gonna need thinner. If you have a small hand-held jeweler's drill with a soft buffing wheel attachment that can help get the paint off too, without damaging the miniature. Be careful with the thinner. Don't get too much on you hands and for goodness sakes don't go all...

    Good Drow

    Right, but you are over-simplying a more complex matter. Which is kina my point about alignment. (Way OT here...) The Crusades were thought of by the Byzantine Empire to get some cheap mercenary troops out of western Europe to help him keep the Muslim hordes on the other side of the Bosporous...

    evil elves and good drow

    No it's not a big deal, if that is how you want to run your campaign. But, for the sake of my argument, the original intent behind Drow was an EVIL race of elves, why are the 1) whole societies of good, or other than evil Drow popping up in actual publications, and 2) maybe it is not as bad as...

    Good Drow

    As a further example, take the Christian sacking of Jerusalem in the First Crusade (* this is NOT a religious discussion *). The crusaders slaughtered men, women, and children. Jews, Muslims and Christians (who ethnically looked like everyone else and were mistaken for Muslims). Now these guys...

    Good Drow

    Which is the challenge of playing a Drow. I don't have a problem with people playing evil Drow, because IME, there are less of them than there are playing good ones. If you can handle the pain in the a$$ that playing an evil Drow entails, I say go for it!

    evil elves and good drow

    WhoTF is elaith craulnober????? Better yet, is he even remotly as famous as Drizzt (the character, not in the storyline). If you have been playing D&D for more than, oh 7 years or so, you will recall the virtual flood of Drizzt clones that have come rolling off the...

    Historical Fantasy

    My world is heavily based on Norse mythology with societies rangeing from 10th century Scandanavian to 12th Century France, Normandy, England etc... But there are still Dwarves and Giants and even Drow (but no good ones!) Oh yeah, the link.... Lords of the Earth

    Good Drow

    I think that was actually Bookwyrms point. The "good" Drow would be weeded out PDQ, and therefore most Drow would be raised evil. "Mom, Dad don't touch it, it's evil!" -Time Bandits

    Mass combat rules

    Re: Thanks for responses Well, it's not D&D but the Warhammer Fantasy Battles system is very good. It is not as complicated as many are led to believe. Roll to hit. Roll to wound. Target rolls to save for armor. It only gets complicated when you start adding in all the different army books...
