[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1982831, member: 158"] It may well be lost to one of our thread cleanups. It actually wasn't from a "gygaxian writing" thread, it was from a thread speculating whether or not Gary posted on these forums under a pseudonym. I'll never forget Col. Hardisson theorizing that "Col. Pladoh" was another poster playing off of his screen name based on the "hard vs. soft" implication. :) Later Eric revealed who the "mystery member" was and verified who "Pladoh" really was. EDIT - I just did a search to confirm - Gary's original postings were BEFORE January of 2002, apparently, because he was answering posts as early as 1-21-2002 and it was obvious people knew who he was at the time. We have NO posts before Jan 2002 because of a forum move at the time, so the good Col's first appearance at ENWorld is lost to history. :) FURTHER EDIT - Just to get this thread back on topic, I'll post an entry of "Gygaxian Writing" later tonight - after I get access to my 1E PHB and DMG.
