Incidentally, his namesake D&D character Edena was apparently presided over by wuss DMs. When someone says they've got 121st level character, you know there's something fishy going on.
In Edenas case he had one 'Master Edena' and many lesser versions of Edena. When someone DMed a game for 5th level PCs, for example, he couldn't play Master Edena, but made a 5th level character named Edena. If the Edena levelled, he would level up the Master Edena. That apparently happened 121 times, but it wasn't a single character who advanced to those levels. Not exactly kosher, is it?
And this is the man now advocating tough DMing? Granted, Edena had some tough DMs, like the butt-pirates* handling of Edena in one adventure proves, but I don't think that's the kind of
tough love even he would advocate
* you don't wanna know, but if you do, ask Edena :\
