  1. RE: social.vivaldi.net/@randomwiza

    I detest the concept of “magic shops” in D&D. It turns the wonderous mundane in short order and throws power balance out of whack too. And, apparently, Gary Gygax also thought so many moons ago. #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgs #garygygax

  7. Wizards of the Coast is working with Luke Gygax, Gary Gygax's son, on a new D&D guide for the Greyhawk setting. This guide will bring back old maps and a more challenging way to play.

  9. Woah! At #UKGamesExpo
    RPG sessions normally cost £7 ... unless you are the child of #GaryGygax

    I own a few of Luke Gygax's adventures, and they are OK, but not sure a 1400% markup is justified.

  14. > Back in the 70s, Gygax was criticized for including tons of unnecessary tables in the D&D rules. When he wrote the Urban Random Encounter table in the DMG, he added a "Harlot subclass table" so the DM could roll up exactly what kind of Harlot the party randomly encountered in a city. Then he flipped through a thesaurus to find a bunch of flowery adjectives as descriptions. The whole thing was a joke --it was a ridiculous 'easter egg' hidden in the back of the DMG, with the hopes that when a DM rolled an encounter and flipped to the page, they were presented with a ridiculous table complete with completely unnecessary procedures to follow. The only thing more ridiculous than this table, is actually taking it seriously.

  15. @Play: Which Is Better, Ring Mail or Splint Mail?
    Gary Gygax was a weird person. I won't get into his life or history or, the casual misogyny of AD&D character creation, or the Random Harlot Table. But he did know a lot about medieval weaponry and armor, and to some degree this obsessive interest

  17. Die #RPGaDay2023 Antwort 10: Favourite Tie-In Fiction ist schwierig, jede Welt ist anders. Die 2 ersten #Dragonlance Hardcover mochte ich sehr, aber auch die #Greyhawk Romane von #GaryGygax und #RoseEstes weil sie sich "nach D&D angefühlt" haben. Auf #Golarion mochte ich Varian Jeggare und Radovan von #DaveGross, noch mehr Winter Witch von #ElaineCunningham, die ja auch zu den #Drow in #ForgottenRealms schrieb. #Aventurien-Favorit? Jeweils der nächste. Nach Expurgico Bosparan von @Atalante #DSA

  18. Zu #RPGaDay Tag 3: First RPG Bought:

    Erstkauf: Das #DungeonsandDragons Basic Set, aber nicht die Mentzer Red Box (1983), sondern die ca 8-10.Auflage der Holmes-Box, 1980, bereits mit B2 Keep on the Borderlands von #GaryGygax. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons Gesehen im Schaufenster eines Spieleladens in Paris (va Schachspiele) und sofort gekauft. Auch Casus Belli begann da gerade erst: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_Be AD&D1 konnte ich dann 1982 schon bei Macy's in New York kaufen. 1/3
