Perilous Gateways: Voices of the Lost, by Roger Moore.

Coincidence, or dark conspiracy for Hollywood to quietly take over WotC?

You make the call!

(j/k)

If I remember correctly, there was a bit about that in an old Dragon magazine. Rpger Moore used to be the editor some years back.

It is not the same Roger Moore.

It is not the same Roger Moore.

yeah - that is what he would say isn't it

You must be fairly recent to D&D; Roger Moore was ubiquitous years back. He seemingly did everything at TSR at one time or another. He's another of the "Hall of Fame" designers that I'm happy to see back working on D&D.

I think IIRC that he has been ribbed about the 007 thing more than once - its probably old hat with him.

What's Rogar of Mooria up to nowadays?

Dragon magazine of old had more editors with name problems. Who do you think had to smile and pretend to be mildly amused more often: Roger Moore to people who thought he was 007, or Kim Mohan to people who thought he was a girl?

I wonder if they ever used the gambit of Mr. Smoketoomuch from the old Monty Python sketch ...

Interviewer: "Well, you'd better cut down a little, then!"
Mr S.: "I'm sorry?"
I: "Well, you'd better cut down a little, then!"
S: (Pause) "Oh! I see!"
I: "I guess you get a lot of that, eh?"
S: "No, actually it never occurred to me before. 'Smoke-too-much.' Hahaha ..."

Did Roger ever pretend to be completely unfamiliar with the James Bond movie franchise? Just to watch someone desperately try to explain why he/she had just laughed at his name? That would have been highly amusing to watch, I think.

I wish my name was Roger Moore. Then I could make fun of Sean Connory for saying "Double-Oh-Sheven." O wait... all the Moore Bond movies were bad... never mind...

 

[Palcadon]

Connery was, is and always will be the one and only Bond.

I agree, but he looks so weird with no beard... his voice is the same though...
