The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

There are times I question why I'm nostalgic about the old days.

Ah, c'mon... How can you not be nostalgic for the days when you could stuff the party's two dwarves and the halfling into a bag of holding, launch it through an open castle window with a catapult, and then have the DM tell you to make saving throws for each one of them because they were "items in the bag" when it suffered a huge impact?

who knew that there so many grumpy old people on this site.

We aren't grumpy.

And get off my lawn.

But his home game was not run RAW. There are many posts by Gary here in ENworld and elsewhere, as well as stories shared by those who played in his games, that he ignored many rules, made things up on the spot, and otherwise did not run his home games following all the rules in AD&D.

My eyes are, however, sore from rolling over his comments on angels. He didn't have any problems publishing Deities & Demigods, which stated up gods that people in current real-world religions worshipped. I don't know the date he wrote his answer to the quote in screen-cap above. I know TSR later changed the name of Deities and Demigods to Legends and Lore to avoid upsetting religious people.

Then again, he's distanced himself from that book, emphasizing that he didn't write it and didn't use it in his games (TSR - Q&A with Gary Gygax). Seems like a bit like throwing Kuntz and Ward under the bus. And he was still running the show at the time. Who cares if he didn't write it. He greenlit it.

They also removed a couple of the mythos that they didn't have rights to use, in the original Deities and Demigods.

Which is why I played both a multi-class Witch and a Kensai (prior to the release of OA).

Man, I really loved the witch classes for D&D. So much so, I tried to trace their development in a four-part series of blog posts. Which version did you use?

Who cares if he didn't write it. He greenlit it.

Look, this is the USA. Avoiding accountability for your decisions is as American as Apple Pie, the Star-Spangled Banner, and David Hasselhoff.

Well, I used to have "grumpy grognard" as my title elsewhere, but at least I'm aware of it.

Recognizing you have a problem is the first step towards ignoring it.

It's true, Sizzle Pie (in Oregon) is really good. I have nothing bad to say about it. I mean, it's not as good as Ken's Artisan but it's a solid choice.

Sign o' the times: When I saw a reference to a drag race, I didn't immediately think of cars.
And I'm OK with that.
