[QUOTE="Todd Roybark, post: 8072045, member: 6920677"] The day a D&D product selects an "easier to pronounce name" over a name that has a surplus of repeating consonants is the day the Dread Pentacle is broken, Death then dies, and Cthulhu eats the universe. 😢 🤔🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I actually own the issue..(picture bellow). So [I]in the final issue of Paizo Dragon[/I] this little paragraph of Erik Mona, Editor in Chief of Dragon, is pointing out that Erik Mona, author of Expedition to the Ruins Greyhawk (awful title), got to add his Authorial Signature to Greyhawk. This issue of Dragon and Exp to the Ruins are the last ties Paizo had to D&D I believe. This little bit of Trivia from what essentially is Erik Mona's game table, was not even memorable to me. Especially not in the final issue of Paizo Dragon, which I was very saddened to see ending. One of the design goals of 5e was to escape the trap of Authorial Identification in 5e. 5e wasn't meant to be Mike's game, or Jeremy's game...the way 1e was Gary's, 2e was Zeb's, 3e was Monte's, etc, etc. Erik has Pathfinder....he doesn't need this bit of Greyhawk lore. Greyhawk doesn't need it either, it is not essential. I only have the original Greyhawk box set and many of the modules penned by Gygax. The value of the first box set was that in two thin booklets, you got a barebones world, with adventures ready to go, that you can make your own. Good products are always relevant...see 5e Eberron for proof of this. I started playing AD&D in 1980. I started wargaming in 1981. As I was told in no uncertain terms in 1981 by older, adult wargamers...true grognards: [I]The term grognard applies only to Table Top Wargamers[/I], and "[I]Only applies to people that started wargaming in the 1970s or earlier." 😱[/I] So, I don't think the term means what you think it means. Unless you mean to [I]appropriate[/I] the culture of others, whom likely are not represented here. How many ENworld-eras started playing Wargames in 1979 or earlier?💾🕹 [/QUOTE]
