[sblock]You play one group of NPCs just so vecna's proxy can kill you off quickly, THEN you play another group of your own PCs who meets the same proxy just so they can crap their pants duly when they meet him -- then vecna shows up and kills the proxy, and ascends to godhood, and the PCs have to convince two other god-level characters to take Vecna out while they watch. And worse, it really doesn't advance your knowledge of Vecna much. UGH![/sblock]1E DMG - It's the charts, but as someone else said, it's all about Gary's style, and the fact that you can just pick that book up at any time, flip to a random section, and be entertained by anything from historical anecdotes to a random fact you probably didn't know. It's like a D&D bathroom reader! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   The 1E PHB, not so much, it doesn't have that quality.</blockquote>
