Quite a mind to invent all that stuff.  He probably read Lord of the Rings and wished he was a dwarven warrior. Figured out the system, and made some money. I liked playing that stuff. PCs really killed it off.

I had the pleasure of playing with him,  his son Ernie, Arenson,  and others at several cons and minicons in and around Lake Geneva where it all started. I was in high school, playing the game with it's creator... man it was something else.  Somewhere in one of my garages I have a first edition Player's Handbook, DMG, and Monster Manual signed by him. Worth nothing I'm sure, but a keepsake from fun times.

If they're first editions they're worth big money.  IIRC the PHB first edition was unique in that it had orange paper used just inside the front and rear covers.  Man, it's been years since I thought about 1st ed. rules.

Steve, next time I'm in Phoenix we need to hook up for a beer or something if you have the time.  2 brothers in Phoenix and my dad in Casa Grande.  I should be back out there some time soon.

From another forum:

"We witness the passing of a great man. He has done more to promote virginity among teenage males than anyone else in the world. "

He certainly postponed my discovery of the opposite sex by 2-3 years.... :o

I'm not sure the need for expressing vindication over being ignored is any less pathetic than using the feature. :D


Oh ... Mr. Gygax.

Hi, my name is Mark...and I'm a geek...    *Hi Mark*

Yes, I was a D&D geek in my younger years. Some of my best times as a kid was playing D&D. I haven't played it in over 20 years, but I'm still a fan of the computer D&D games. RIP Gary Gygax. Thanks for the good times!

arlo.. the who your enemies are and why is always important.

D&D.... you guys are kidding right?

I would think that AH would be the last thing a dd person would be interested in.

well.. maybe "enemies" is too strong a word..  "people who dislike you and why" would be a better choice.

I find that so far they are left wing socialists or far right winger big government types or (snicker) anime and D&D fans... Guys who love a good doomsday "the sky is falling" theory and guys who like ricer cars and fear firearms.   

I don't find the fact that they don't like me much to be that surprising but it is pretty predictable.. and unlike your posts..  amusing.
