Saw this somewhere else. Just thought I'd share it with you folks.

Hi, I am sort of back. I wasn't feeling well (mentally) and had to take a break. I will be picking up with the campaign after I get back from DunDraCon this weekend.
Go ahead and play Brother Gilbert as an NPC until after the 18th of February.

I hope you are feeling better now Spin. A good time away might be just the job.

Zombies with fanny-packs = Not scary at all.

Oh, thanks, thanks. It's good to be here. Look, I already have three PCs and a zombie. Well, actually, two PCs, a zombie and one on the way of becoming one

Ya, but this would be so much fun to watch.

Honestly. I'm laughing my ass off. I rolled a new character and I think I just posted three or four actions with him (mostly conversation) and he just died.
I love it.

The table-top group i play with uses 2nd ed. I find the PHB to be well organized (except for the tables: they are always miles away from the things they refer to

) but just lacking the ...charisma...of the 1st ed books.
I just recently noticed these two gems: the encumbrance tables at the back of the DMG include grappeling hooks. But the equipment tables don't. So you can't buy one, but you know how heavy it is.
Last night I was flicking through the Monster Manual index. Under H it lists "Hamadryad: see Dryad". I've never ever heard of a hamadryad. So I eagerly flipped to Dryad...to find absolutely not a word about hamadryads....
Never change baby, never change.

I believe the term you're looking for is "High Gygaxian".

THATs the truth for sure. But I do like the term “charisma” of 1st edition, for it describes the feel of the edition perfectly

Before posting for Chauncey, just confirming that Zombiecar made his “save” to avoid following Gormavaala’s order?

Correct!
BH rolled for that in his private thread for some reason, but Mono doesnt appear to understand why Gorman is commanding him while hanging around with the people he was told to kill. So, ya, that didn't work.
