That's funny -- exactly the same thing I was thinking about him! ;)

No, that's fine. I gather that by actually reading the module (Yggsburgh, I mean) I will get some idea of where the 'wilder' areas are in which I might place the Keep and the Caves. Thanks. :)

Of course a 7th/9th-level Fighter/Thief is more powerful than his 7th-level counterpart in 3E. But the former is roughly equivalent to a 12th-level character, while the latter is exactly equivalent (in theory) to any other 7th-level character. Would you say that a Fighter 6/Rogue 6 is a...

Gary, Do you think it is possible to put the Keep on the Borderlands and the Caves of Chaos on the Yggsburgh wilderness map? Where do you think might be a good location for it? At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, KOTB is my favorite adventure, whether playing or GMing.

Gary, No questions, only a belated thanks and the hope that you're feeling better. We're praying for you. Also, I don't know whether Noah has kept you updated, but the Fuzzy Knights have returned -- http://www.kenzerco.com/periodicals/fuzzyknights/fkonline050204.php

If you received the first issue of Troll Lord Games' magazine The Crusader, there was an advertisement from Goodman Games for their Dungeon Crawl Classics soliciting C&C players for help with conversions. Of course that doesn't mean that there's any definite agreement in place, but I think it...

Ah, perhaps you should put him in touch with TLG. :)

As far as the PHB is concerned, everything except the SIEGE Engine mechanic (IIRC). M&T and the CKG will probably have less OGC. But this is just a guess and does not proceed from any inside knowledge that I wouldn't have. ;)

They're not particularly rare. If memory serves the print run for the Creations Unlimited 'Maze' series was 2,500. (The print run for Garden of the Plantmaster was 5,000, although I can't remember off the top of my head where I heard these figures.) Add to that the fact that both 'Maze' and...

I'm not sure that Gene is pleased. ;)

The reference is a bit obscure. I don't think there's a reference in the Battle of the Five Armies but at one point Bilbo asks Gandalf why they don't just walk around Mirkwood. Gandalf replies that going to the south will find them in the region of the Necromancer and going north will bring them...

Goodness forbid that players should use some strategy! It's no different than a Fighter deciding which weapons to take on a particular adventure.

That depends on whether the signatures are sewn or just glued. Most hardback books today are glued just like perfect-bound (i.e. softcover) books. I don't know whether the 3.5 books are sewn or not, but when a hardcover book gets to be that big (320 pages, yes?), sewn signatures are much more...

I think it eventually expanded to 40-some. Perhaps you might want to ask in the Gygax Q&A thread. I believe he said that Zagyg's Castle (which he is developing for Troll Lord Games) will eventually have some 20 levels. Yes, and characters can get quite lost in there, particularly if they get...

Both are mentioned in The Silmarillion. Sauron took the form of a werewolf when he battled Huan, the Hound of Valinor, and took the form of a vampire after he was defeated. Gnomes are in Tolkien's writings, if you look hard enough. They're called Petty-dwarves and they died out during the First...

Likely. But I would expect Hasbro to produce a 4th Edition in short order anyway. If I am not mistaken, it took quite a bit of time for WOTC to produce a new edition after buying T$R. Wizard$ bought T$R in 1997 and 3e came out in 2000. So if a new owner of the D&D label wanted to produce a new...

But it is "magic"? Dwarves have darkvision and they aren't magical beings. I would argue that "darkvision" is a natural ability that can be replicated by magic (the darkvision spell). I never did like the explanation that "it's magic." If that's the explanation then may as well stick with...

Of course. It was easy to do. If you're concerned that you aren't prepared for the characters to have attained such a level, you could have them go up against some spectres or vampires. At least one of them is certain to lose a couple of levels! :D

Yes -- there was a comment about Hasbro "shopping" D&D for $30 million. I'm not sure why it would be bad for Ha$bro to sell D&D. As to who could afford it -- probably the only RPG company would be White Wolf. Parker Brothers is obviously out of the question since it is owned by Ha$bro (as is...
