Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

[Herobizkit]

To be exact you could probably land one kick on his ass. After that, all bets are off

What do you mean? The Rock's a candy ass ACTOR now. The only thing that you can smell from The Rock now is the cheese from his movies. Erik Mona could smack the lips right off The Rock.

And that's the bottom line, 'cause Herobizkit said so.

By the by, I'd never heard of the mad adventures of Fluffy and Jubilex until I read this thread this morning, and I nearly crapped my pants. I must own this adventure.

And that eloquently summarizes why the universally despised WG7 Castle Greyhawk module is nonetheless still very popular and fetches reasonably high prices at auction, while the classics can be bought for a song.

Judging from the posts in this thread, there is obviously a great demand amongst gamers for old campaign settings.

However, there is also a great division about which campaign setting WotC should revisit.

Therefore, I suggest that they are going to revisit them all, and Erik's secret project is a mega-campaign setting that revisits all of the old classic D&D settings in one product.

That way, you will satisfy everyone to some extent, and introduce a number of new worlds to the newer players.

Yeah, players loved that with Die, Vecna, Die!

Don't you mean bits? Those he'd rip off poor Eric I mean.

Yeah, you're right. That Lee guy went all soft and squishy, after he started appearing on the screen, too. Hardly ever punched through concrete walls at all. Actors lose at least 10 points of their strength score.

not Chuck Norris, though.

"Universally despised" and "popular" are reasonably antonymic, no?

That said, I *love* WG7. It's clearly NOT for actual play (unless you've got some WHACKED-out players), but more for reading a la OotS, Dragonmirth or other such things. Basically an extended April Fool's Dragon magazine issue. I see nothing wrong with that.

I guess that's a way to rationalize it. I was gaming during that time period, and I remember that Castle Greyhawk was a dungeon a lot of people were waiting for, and had been since Gygax first started making reference to it. It was much like the wait for the sequel to Village of Hommlet. So when this joke Castle Greyhawk appeared, it caused frustration. Where was the legendary dungeon we'd been waiting for for so long? Had this module been called anything but Castle Greyhawk, a lot of us old grognards might have a much more positive memory of it.

Ya! And you can buy your gummy werebear minis from the local corner store. When you kill one, you get to eat the mini. ;-)

If anything, I think the Col. sugar-coats the matter. If the World Wide Web had existed back then, the flames against TSR would still be going on today. We were FURIOUS.

You bet! I still have a barrel of tar and a mattress of chicken feathers and a rusty old length of railroad rail sit sitting in my garage for the 'tar and feather' party that was planned for those guilty....
