Status of Gary Gygax

[Power_Word_Wedgie]

I've heard that he has suffered some health problems recently and thus has stopped the "Ask the Sage" thread. However, besides that, does anyone know how is he doing at this time? If there is already a thread on the subject, I apologize now for starting a new one. Of course, I'm hoping he's recovering nicely. He has always been courteous to me in the "Ask the Sage" thread and the recent edition has an excellent adventure by him and Rob Kuntz. It makes me long for the adventures of old. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the heads up Mark. Glad to see he's doing better and hopefully in the near future he'll be back in the normal swing of things. (as thanks for the kind comment on my screen name - if it isn't a spell, it should be one ... )

You're quite welcome. Yeah, that is good news.

Maybe just a cantrip. That way it would happen a lot more often.

After all the Gary bashing that's been going on lately, I'd be surprised if he ever comes back.

I'm thinking that there should be three levels of power to the spell - wedgie, atomic wedgie, and (in homage to "The Simpsons") the dreaded "Rear Admiral."

Once again, that for the heads up.

Gary is a tough bird. If it in his power, I'm pretty sure he'll come back.

Gary bashing? Must of been one of those threads I ignored. I am glad he is doing better. Hope he gets back to his "old self" soon.

You should see the Naked Men spell I came up with.

I'm glad Gary is doing okay.
