back in 2E days, I used the verbeeg giants a couple of times as 'born to normal human parents, but had some genetic quirks that made them giants" (inspired by the description of them as 'human giants'. I had them as leaders of tribes. In a one shot game I ran using the Vikings campaign book...

the main things I remember from this one was the rakshasa article (really liked that one) and the not-so-great experiment that was the Aries section...

and the NyrDyv is Lake Superior. Almost exactly.

one of the things about the WoG is just how many of the semi-deities, demi-gods, and sometimes the gods themselves either live there or wander there. Iuz and Wastri, of course, St. Cuthbert is known to travel around as a tinker (I think my group encountered him once, but never got the DM to...

I was always amused by Wastri.... the god of bigotry and the superiority of humans, but he looks like his momma had a passionate affair with a bullfrog...

this was what I encountered when I got into D&D way back then. No official WoG gods at first, but did have the D&D book, so our PCs worshipped whatever deities in that book we felt like. Then the Dragon articles came out, and we just made it all retroactive to have our PCs worship the...

the main thing I remember about this one was the Baba Yaga module, and it having a Russian tank in her place....

Don't think I ever used anything from this issue, but I remember chuckling over the background info in the Baton Races game...

I always remember this issue, as it was the first one I received through subscription. Previously, I had to hunt down issues in the increasingly scarce hobby shops....

another fantasy icon who had some questionable views was Robert E. Howard. Way back when I was a young teen, I loved the Conan comics, and when Ace started re-releasing the old Lancer books, I eagerly bought them, and in general, they are not objectionable. But as the REH stories proved to be...

I can remember reading the 'writing for TSR' one way back then, which got me to thinking that I could do it. Although it took a few more years for me to put it to the test....

Hey, I haven't looked through this thread for a while... looks through thread now I remember why....

I don't think any of the PCs in my college campaign had psionics... not because the DM forbid them, but because IIRC, it was kinda hard to get them. The one time I remember them being used was in one of those bad cases of "The DM runs his own PC in our group to beef up the numbers, and he's way...

the DM in my college group ran us through the Citadel module, one of the last published adventures I went through with them, as I finished college at the end of the semester that Dec. Most of what I remember is that we were really slow in figuring out the mystery, and didn't do so well in...

there were some pretty good hints even back in early 1E days that EGG had some issues... some of his remarks in Dragon didn't reflect well on him. Not to mention, there were also indications that he wasn't a real businessman either. Lots of people overlooked all that because he was undeniably...

IIRC, AQ was a bit odd in that it was designed to be exactly a 3 year line and no more...

I'm mildly curious as to just how many products there were for the Buck Rogers line compared to other failed lines in the Williams years. Some, like Maztica, had just a handful of products, while Spelljammer had dozens. My (increasingly) foggy mind doesn't recall just how many items there were...

that is probably the most succinct and accurate way of putting it. Kudos...

I never really regarded her as a villain in the whole thing, and we all owe her our gratitude in selling TSR to WOTC. But. I still will give her grief over the whole Buck Rogers thing. It might 'have been worth a shot', but it was obvious early on that it wasn't doing well, and should have...

I always thought it was leftover cultists who didn't get smacked down in the battle that took down the Temple...
