I'm just counting the days ... and the XP ... until my quota has been reached.:D

Three more for The Man!

The one sure thing I know -- folks will be fighting this edition war without me. Just like they did the last one.

That's all I've ever seen. Most folks seem obsessed with his Wand.

I am absolutely astounded that no one has even mentioned Quag Keep, by the famous old school sci-fi novelist Andre Norton (actually Alice Mary Norton). Originally published in 1978, it's really the first-ever D&D book. There was also a Return to Quag Keep, written by a protegee of Andre's...

Let's see ... thread is about 9 years old. I'd say this is a fairly high level feat of Necromancy. So. How long does the corpse walk before it lies down again?

That's the ticket! Improvise away.

If you have players like mine, there'll be an initial dash for the useful -- things you've expected and are ready for. And then will come ... the challenges.:) They will write words on it just to see what you will do. Words like: "effervescent," "helical," and "deific."

The effort is what matters. I'm sure we came close. And ... no reason to give up.

So, so true. But ... we have not forgotten him. And the game is still here.:)

Indeed I do remember. Each and every year. His crazy game has kept me quite a bit saner than I would otherwise be. Cheers, Gary!

Holy...!!!! You have achieved the mythical Level 22.:erm: Who knew it was even possible? I'd be slightly nervous about giving you ANY more XP. Rumor amongst the cosmologists is ... that's how galactic black holes got started.

Good Heavens, no!!:-S Why would I hide it? At any event, I'm already a fairly total 'nerd' -- a scientist, an engineer, a mathematician. D&D adds very little to my existing nerd-dom. Plus, in ye olden days, I played war-games. Oh. And I'm old.;)

Of course. It's the only rational position. Meanwhile, I prefer to be positive, optimistic. Just a happier way to live.

Perhaps it's best not to know. Personally, I think we ... are ... almost ... there.:)

I'm more the "big tent" type. I began early, but somehow didn't form too many rigid opinions ... and practically no "deal breakers." I say, let's wait ... calmly ... and see what WOTC comes up with. Peace. Calm. Try it, you might like it.

And ... 3 more XP for the Father of the Game. We're getting there.

How open is open enough? I doubt anyone knows. Perhaps it's time for an experiment.:) Somewhere between might be good.

Yes, of course. I'm very relieved that WOTC did not go with "faster, better, cheaper." NASA's experience with that mantra: "Pick any 2." Let's hope that bit of '90s wisdom does not extend to D&DN.

Oh, my. Now ... I get the OP ... but this is just going too far. After all, even magic has its limits.
