Sneak peek at Gygax Magazine #2

February 12, 2013

By all accounts the debut of Gygax Magazine has been SPECTACULAR! Literally dozens were sold at the introductory event, and reportedly nearly a handful more have been sold online, including at least two year-long subscriptions. As Huell Howser might say, “HOW ABOUT THAT!!!”

Poised to erupt into raucous cheers, the hobby awaits eagerly Gygax Magazine #2… and it just so happens I’ve been made privy to an early look at the TOC:

    You forgot Gene Weigel’s fanfic of ‘Gargling Gary’s Mighty Load’.and ‘Snuggling the Hoary Cheeks of my Master’.

    • February 12, 2013 9:21 pm

      I’d love to see what this well-balanced RPGer finds readily “jizzworthy” or “butt-alicious”! Now that’ll be a real punchline! Seriously, I’m not affiliated with anyone involved in “Gygax” anything. I haven’t even contributed a dime to his memorial. I don’t to go or care to go to “Gary Con” or other “Old-School-Label-Same-Old-Conventions”. Just ask yourself what the fuck are you playing thats so great because I’d love to hear about it.

        Gene, you can’t quite grasp the irony of your own reply can you? Gygax magazine would be the perfect platform for you! Finally, a place were you can tell the world of your Gygaxian cum guzzling adventures. Soft stroking your flaccid little dick too full jizz mode while being hailed as a champion of the Gygax name all these years. Too bad you’ll never find acceptance in any of your contemporaries forums and blogs, let alone Gygax Magazine.

        BTW you fat fuck, here’s a peek of your own ‘unboxing’ event of Gygax Magazine:

        13 minutes and 25 seconds of failure and fatbeards with FOUR parts to follow! FUCK! What the hell man? Were you trying to show all the fat beards you were planning to blow in the men’s room afterwards?
        And as for asking myself anything about what kind of game I enjoy, I have to ask you is this the type of game you enjoy?

      • February 13, 2013 6:22 am

        Now thats objective reporting, I mean on the flail… WHAT?

        Methinks that perhaps you’ve lost the point.

        I posted those videos to YouTube myself. My threshold for poking fun of myself is the size of a galaxy.

        On that note I’d to announce the Kickstarter to find any roleplaying game system that Gary Gygax was not involved with to actually play…

        Send all money to yourself.

      • February 13, 2013 7:23 am

        ‘Failures & Fatbeards’ would be an excellent title for a retro-clone.

      • February 13, 2013 7:25 am

        BTW, I don’t think the audience at that Gygax Games unboxing were there for anything E. Gary Gygax directly did. They all seemed to be playing STAR WARS at some point in the video… <<>> The Dwarven Forge stuff looked cool but too stylized for session after session.

        As for the magazine it was mostly anectdotal. Out of the three comics WHATS NEW actually seemed good in comparison anyways. They had some geek shitstain crap called THE WAY OF THE STICK or something and some blandy magician crapola. Baaaad! Not rad bad. Bad bad. I never thought I’d say WHATS NEW was decent but there it is. The new D&D style articles seemed all PERTHFERNDER and I think thats what the audience was there for.

        I’ve admitted the Gygax Games vids were boring and i posted it only because:

        A) I had nothing to do that day.
        B) I live where they were having it.
        C) If I was bored then why take my word for it in this day and age?

        oh and

        D)it had GYGAX in the name…

        Its fun to play with the
        “G”… “Y”… “G”… “A”… “X”…
        Its fun to play with the
        “G”… “Y”… “G”… “A”… “X”…
        They have everything
        For young men to enjoy.
        You can hang out with
        all the boys.
        Its fun to play with the
        “G”… “Y”… “G”… “A”… “X”…
        Its fun to play with the

        Gene you cockslobbering fuckfaced fuck! How could the point be anymore clear? You said that you aren’t affiliated or involved with anything Gygax or have given your Master a dime, yet you were there at the unveiling of the Gygax Magazine.
        So, I’ll spell it out for you again. GYGAX LOVING CULTISTS WILL JIZZ THEMSELVES BLIND IN ORDER TO BUY ANYTHING WITH THE NAME GYGAX ON IT NO MATTER IF IT’S A PIECE OF SHIT. It’s been going on since Mayfair Games came out with Yrrgsburgh (which you probably have three copies of) and is carrying on with this asswipe of a magazine. Cumgargling, fucked faced flabby titted fool that you are, you deny Gygaxian fanboi-ism but there you are. Buying Gygax magazine. Do you now see the irony? You and JaMal’s fanbois have a lot in common. FUCK!

    You know here’s what those old dudes who made the Gygax Magazine do not get:

    2 steps:

    1. They should have used Kickstarter to fund this.

    2. Use the money for other things.

    3. Claim health issues or other such excuse.

    4. Fade away from the OSR scene.

    • Sykirobme permalink
      February 13, 2013 7:47 am

      Or they could be like Kuntz. Just take the money, produce nothing, and whine about how you’re an “artist” and no one understands when you’re taken to task.

    You neglected to mention the letters column, “Out on a Ledge”, which will start running in the second issue, featuring reactions to previously published articles (read “shameless fanboy gushing”), perspectives and heated debate on weighty issues facing the OSR (e.g., “Ascending AC: Is it hopelessly confusing, just the same math in reverse, or both?”), and desperate pleas for all expense paid con appearances by the Gygax Mag luminaries. And of course the main attraction, letters from never-were wannabe OSR publishers begging for the seal of approval from the scions of House Gygax, casually mentioning in passing how Gary glanced at them meaningfully at GenCon XIV, thereby tacitly transferring the mantle of “One True Gawd of Gaming” to their humble shoulders.

    And since the brainchild behind the publication is Tim Kask, the genius behind Adventure Gaming magazine and the first thirty issues of The Dragon (yeah, before it was any good), you know you can expect the magazine to be worth reading as soon as he abandons his post in a huff over some perceived insult to his righteous authority.

    I know that Old Geezer of rpg.net is working on an article; I guess it won’t make it ’til issue #3. In it, he reveals how he totally pwned some dude who dared to question him!

    It went something like this:
    Dude posted something about how Gygax himself was an adversarial GM, and mentioned a specific example involving Rob Kuntz.

    Old Geezer said that’s bullshit, never happened; unless you can get Kunt or Gary to confirm this story, it’s just more made-up crap on the internet.

    Dude responds by posting not one but two quotes from Rob describing Gary as a DM, including a quote that Gary was gunning for the PCs.

    O.G. points out that dude’s description of the incident from the first post is slightly different from the description in the second and third posts (which dude had acknowledged). Therefore, despite citing Kuntz’s own words to prove the point, dude is wrong! Pwned! O.G. wins again!

    http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?675325-OSR-Recommend-me-a-system/page3
    It continues on to the next page.

    Another victory for the True Sons of Gygax!

      • February 13, 2013 6:03 am

        I should interview O.G. then. After all I am starting to interview luminaries of this hobby. I have my first one posted today.

      • February 13, 2013 8:16 am

        Mornard’s biggest problem is that he’s secretly some new age RPGer who LARPed STAR WARS and whatever comes down the pipe. That motherfucker wouldn’t give me the time of day on Kuntz’s messageboards. So he’s got that trendy thing going for him. I wouldn’t be so fast to shit him down the river if thats your bag. But as far as I’m concerned I can’t find anything there. I was willing to give him a chance after I found out Kuntz’s deals with me were not even near square and maybe he was equally burnt but after a while I realized that I wouldn’t dress up as a Jedi with a braid if you paid me. Thats not only a horse of a different color but it doesn’t make sense to me. He’s just one of these “backback/Mountain Dew/soup of the day/anything goes if its rpg” types. Its anathema to me. If he is what embodies “old school” then fuck that I’d rather be called “Shirley school”. I’ve never met the guy but if hes anything like “JOHNNY STANDARD RPG” then good luck. He’s all yours.

        Thats the problem with these bogus mini-GenCons they want mini-dictatorial versions of the same thing thats been going on to please the Mornard type worldview. I’ve tried to get people together based on principle to make a true convention that would be content strict and even Gary Gygax told me to fuck off.

        Honestly? Mornard is a hero to anyone who dislikes my “elite” views. Now that said… FUCK HIM! 😉

        You fuck, you are so besides yourself aren’t you? If Rob Kuntz and this guy both showed up at your front door you wouldn’t know which one too suck off first. FUCK!

      • February 13, 2013 9:58 am

        The OSR is the biggest turkey shoot ever. To me its PERTHFERNDER PART DEUX but worse because it promises something else.

        RPG FAIL just keeps on FAILing.

        OSR “Grog-Mor-Nards” might apply to fucking everyone on forums regarding RPGs currently in my opinion.

        Malisewski is in the same boat as Mornard but so is the entire Cook “family” (and their nude houseboy Breault) as well as everyone else in RPG creation. So if these RPG criminals are so bad who are the sheriffs?

        Who are the good guys?

        Who are the winners?

    • Timothy permalink
      February 13, 2013 9:55 am

      Well, I’m no homo, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

      Kuntz never worked with FGG. He did some stuff with Necromancer Games a few years ago, and then left them in the middle of a project because, well, Faye Dunaway, that’s why. There was bad blood between them after that.

      Maybe there is some new development, but it seems unlikely Bill/FGG would ever work with him again.

      • February 13, 2013 10:35 am

        He did Zayene for them? http://www.talesofthefroggod.com/maze1.html

        February 13, 2013 11:00 am

        Bill and Clark were the head guys at Necromancer. They recruited Kuntz to continue and complete the Maze of Zayene stuff. He flaked out.

        This thread has some juicy info – you can find more poking around that subforum:

        http://necromancergames.yuku.com/topic/4487/A-Question

        Necro broke up when 4E came out and Clark didn’t like the GSL. Bill had already faded away, but he came back with FGG when he smelled some money in the Pathfinder/OSR thing.

      • February 13, 2013 12:12 pm

        The problem with the OSR hobby publishers is that they like to think that they have reinvented the wheel, and that they are doing this for the love. Yet, as soon as money crosses the palms, things change.

        that narrows it to Matt Finch or hamburger-eating Regional Champ Aaron Zirkelbach. Bill is relentless self-promoter, so he would name himself if he was in there. My money is on burger boy.

        Why do you think these guys are teaming up with Kuntz? Do they allude to it in their latest rambling interview? No way I am watching an hour of Kuntz…Or is it just a hunch?

      Does anyone who’s worked with Kuntz in the last 20 years have anything good to say about him? It doesn’t seem like it. Then again, he’s so important and brilliant that the rest of us can’t be expected to understand him.

      • February 13, 2013 12:14 pm

        No one. The problem with Kuntz is that in his mind he is bigger than anyone. He feels that he is more important, and that he should have been the successor of Gygax.

        It is obvious that Kuntz couldn’t deliver the last part of the Zayene stuff, and that he played his victim card (like you are doing). Read the link above – if you really can read.

        So how did they let you “fry”? Post a link or put the Gygax pacifier back in.

        There is a point where he mutters jokingly about killing GROGGGG-nard if he discovers too much about his work on OD&D-like open models of gaming. The rest of the interview is full of coy inarticulate repetitive references to this.

        I actually respect and understand what he is saying about how closed and limited most gamers are following the TSR models as if that was everything D&D was about. I just wish he would make his points without trying to make money from it.

        Textbook cases abound on this forum for sure – many sweaty twitching palpitators sweating and swearing furiously as they shake their tiny fists at Gene or James or whoever

        “Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. It is currently categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as an impulse control disorder.

        Impulsive aggression is unpremeditated, and is defined by a disproportionate reaction to any provocation, real or perceived.

        Individuals diagnosed with IED report their outbursts were brief (lasting less than an hour), with a variety of bodily symptoms (sweating, chest tightness, twitching, palpitations) reported by a third of one sample. The violent acts were frequently reported accompanied by a sensation of relief, and in some cases, pleasure, but accompanied by remorse after the fact.”

Sandy Peterson? Is that you?) or because he was a celebrity but it was because he actually talked content and not business side BS. Which is what you get from a lot of these RPG con people old and new. I once had a notion that the RPG biz was one big thing because of DUNGEON HOBBY SHOP catalogs in the early 80’s but I slowly discovered that its not all on the historical miniatures into fantasy view that I come from.

        I’m no stranger to the YouTube mania over videos. My second video spread so rapidly I had to delete the recorded game sessions. All the music was up for copyright violations and the fan mail was so enormous I don’t think I’ve sorted through it yet. The biggest success was for the bogus after credits on PART DEUX because it was singing PANCHO & LEFTY to the then recently departed Gary as fake credits rolled. Yes…. It was just that bad… I mean good. So in the manner of Jeff Bridges in THE VANISHING I did an equally potent opposite act to balance that out… recording the Gygax Games unboxing…

    A REMINDER:

    ==== From the Gospel according to Matthew ====
    ==== Jesus encounters the first of two spiritually putrid lepers

    When Jesus came down from the mountainside a leper followed him pulling at his tunic,

    “Unhand me, excrescence” Jesus said “you disgust me. Who are you?”

    “I am the one who pretends to be Arneson’s Spectre. Nobody loves me.” the leper cried.

    “I can see why,” Jesus frowned. “Well, I will cure you if you promise to go about the place reciting my good deeds and so forth.”

    “Oh thank you Jesus”, exclaimed the leper Arneson’s Spectre who was unloved from birth.

    Jesus placed his hands on the object the leper Arneson’s Spectre referred to as his head.

    Jesus soon shuddered and stepped back two paces.

    “Unique and intriguing,” Jesus gasped. “No avail. You have leprosy of the mind. I cannot help you.”

    “Goodbye!” said Jesus “Good morning!” and he hurried away down the dusty road.

    A tiny yellow bird came near, shat in Arneson Spectre’s eye and seemed content with this.

    Friends and Colleagues of the RPG and Gaming Hobby and Industry –

    One of our own, James Mishler, is having a HELL of a time right now, and it is incumbent upon us all to do what we can to step up and help this stalwart member of our tribe in what ways we can. Just check out his latest post to see what I mean.

    In this, I ask that you all at least share the following link, which is for his page of products on DriveThruRPG. Buy stuff if you can, and get your friends to. He’s a great designer and writer, a decent human being, and a friend in need.

    We know what to do. Let’s do it.

    He follows this up with:

    Friends, we really need your thoughts and prayers right now. The last couple of weeks have been just this side of a slice of hell. The dead man and the flood were only a preview… and now things are getting worse. Our car needs a $500 repair job; we’ve lost our auto insurance because we couldn’t afford to keep up with the bill; the only job interview I’ve had in the last six months went nowhere; and now the landlord is hounding us to leave because we are not on the lease. We’ve got nowhere to go (and with the car kaput, no way to get there, anyway). Frankly, I’m at my wit’s end and Jodi… well, she’s in a bad state. We’ve sold just about anything that anyone wants to buy, and the few things we have left, well, we’ve got one storage payment left in us and then we won’t have any “things” left to worry about. We are destitute and desperate at a level I’ve never even comprehended before. Thus any thoughts, prayers, job tips, anything… anything you could do to help would be most appreciated.

      Maybe Satine Penix can appeal to her comic shop game following and set-up a charity gang bang record. But none of this “the same 50 guys multiple times” shit. She needs to go to Garycon or wherever and get several hundred smelly beard-o’s to eagerly step up. Does Garycon even get several hundred people to attend?

We’re also doing a new Poop Dollar video series and I’m going to need some homeless bums to shit on some dollar bills for me if he’s interested. Wiping his ass with dollar bills for money shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for a failed blOwSR publisher I’m guessing.

But then again, it looks like he already spent a good chunk of it getting back the good will of his spoiled brats after them mostly growing up with a broke-ass dad who thought “work” was a four letter word.

      If this person has such principles, they probably read no books, view no TV shows, go to any movies, play any video games, or, in short, consume anything. There is always going to be someone you don’t like, and to cut your nose off to spite your face is silly as hell.

        You are going to be shocked to learn that political correctness has triumphed in every arena of intellectual freedom , Guy Who Runs With Scissors.

        What’s really disturbing is that in the real world, outside of politics & entertainment (where expression of ideas is supposed to matter), topics like rape are ignored.

        For example; in the USA, there is no rape (legally), unless it’s involving a vagina. This is in more than 40 of the states. Thus, a man CANNOT be raped, among other injustices. A cop in new york just got (a hefty) sentence for sexual assault; for forcing a female teacher to give him oral sex at gun point & then sodomizing her, but couldn’t be guilty of rape.

        In small towns across that country, even “true” rapes are swept under the rug, as long as they are done by those that a community has invested their (false) pride in, such as athletes.

        You know a society is really sick when all it’s ire is focused on imaginary or intellectual affronts, rather than doing something about the reality.

        Hmmm, there might be a lesson somewhere in that for YDIS…naw, couldn’t be. Venting spleen over a few G wasted on some obscure hobby scam surely is more important than billions & trillions stolen by banksters, etc.

        My favorite part are the gamer “chicks” that get raped at least five times at every gaming convention they attend, yet somehow police reports are never filed. They remind me of those chicks you would hook up with at drunken frat parties in college for a one night stand and when you didn’t call them back the next day, they would go to the dean screaming RAPE! Then when a real rapist like JRT comes along, that scumbag gets away with it because of all the crying wolf.

        Don’t get me started on the online freaks who think avatar rape is equivalent to real rape. BTW, my avatar is raping Bloodymage’s avatar as I type this.

      • Scott permalink
        February 15, 2013 7:25 am

        Many of those jurisdictions have codified rape as “sexual assault” for that reason – the term “rape” has common law or former statutory connotations that are both limiting and imprecise. In this jurisdiction as well as many others, there is no statutory “rape” offense, only degrees of sexual assault (and abuse, which is differentiated from assault here and elsewhere). In this jurisdiction, there’s no *rape* statute for any victim, regardless of gender – it’s all either sexual assault or sexual abuse, with relatively precise definitions of each element, because no one wants jurors to enter verdicts based on their own prejudices about what is or isn’t rape.

        I’m not saying the law is progressive or just (I’m also not not saying it, I have to deal with the law that’s there, not the law I want). But in many jurisdictions, “sexual assault” has taken the place of “rape” to shield against antiquated definitions, not to perpetuate them.

      I see a lot of Brits conditioned to a certain type of low brow humor disguised as something clever because its conveyed with a superficial educated tone. There are many of these dumb but seeming clever types over here in a America but since the UK is so small in comparison I believe they’ve aggressively taken over a lot of their media whereas the USA gets its long distance coast to coast continuity from sports which sounds cruder in superficiality when creators aim for popular success. The UK is the same voice as America but it has:

      A) Lack of diverse backgrounds
      B) Solid traditions which makes it more flexible

      So when a writer/designer/creator makes a UK hit over there it sometimes comes across the pond as a fucking nightmare here in the states. For example, look up the comic book industry in the 80’s and you’ll see there was demand for crudity from Britain amongst publishers. I heard a rumor by the 90’s internally DC comics would only hire new writers from Britain.

      Now that said, I have not read “Desborough” so I’m not attacking or defending him.

        Here’s the deal, living on an island full of fuckwits (whether it be Britain, Ireland or Long Island) doesn’t entitle you to a different standard of behavior. Blithering Gygax cockgobblers, drunk, arrogant queens and over-the-hill, talentless, rape-fetishists don’t become more socially acceptable just because we know they are an inevitable product of their environments.

      The idea I’m immune to rape is the amusing bit.

      I’m (gasp) with Gene it seems; one should be able to express their opinions or ideas (& possibly get mocked, ridiculed or scorned for them) & still be able to perform in other areas of society.

      I know nothing of this “Desborough”, but I’m assuming he’s not an actual/convicted rapist (sorry, “sexual assaulter”). Rape is often handled poorly & over frequently by hack writers, but if the nerd rage is over mere fiction, it’s awful to start trying to blacklist.

      Sorry, YDIS, I shouldn’t be expecting you to be Matt Taibbi. Still, the fictional rape getting treated more seriously/paid more attention to than rapes in reality irks me. Rape (sorry, Sexual Assault) is sky high these days in the US military (& covered/hushed up), Huzza that women can now serve in the front lines though! More men are raped, I mean, sexually assaulted, than women in the USA now each year; a result of a private for profit prison-industrial complex in the US. Gotta be tough on non-volent crime though!

      Shit! Piss! Fuck! (no, that’s german porn)

    Friday Forum Fun:

    Could somebody please tell me what the fuck is going on with this dude who made the thread? He’s a douche bag regular at DF, is fat, middle aged, and has rape-eyes, but he somehow got several decent chicks over to his place for some highly organized and tidy gaming. He even seems to be able to get them to eat his rat-shaped goodies that look like bowl movements. Did he kidnap their families and is holding them hostage till they play some D&D with him? Does he have naked photos taken through their bedroom windows that he threatened to post online? Lots of us have had females at our games, but that this particular creepy looking OSRtard got these girls to his house is highly suspect.

    For extra fun, read on a bit and see T. Foster joke about the wily ol’ Thorkhammer jizzing all over his keyboard after seeing the thread, and Thorky chiming in to confirm that he is indeed cumming all over his keyboard, and may be up for stalking the perky young ‘un.

      Honestly? He might be a nice guy. Funny. Sensitive. Charitable. Outgoing. Brave.

      Heh, lots of people play games in all different situations.

      As brutally honest as I can be, I think more non-game types relate to original D&D or AD&D than obscure rpgs because it had so much media attention.

      I think there is a lot of grown women who were raised on derivative games that wear the label “geek” comfortably which I’m not too comfortable playing a game with.

      The girls who played D&D in the 80’s were not the ones that I got “off the street” from bulletin boards in the 00’s for sure.

        It’s obvious that the guy had some angle to get the gals there that has nothing to do with your suggestions, but hey believe whatever you have to in order to make it through another one of your dismal days, dipshit. Just the way you express yourself in writing makes me think you are living in a blurry haze.

        Until somebody can provide a real explanation as to what Sir Allan was up to (and he started that thread in a way that made it seem the readers should already be aware of it), I’m going with the theory that he posted a notice at a local community college offering pay to gals who would come play D&D for a couple hours. Maybe he was hoping to start some I Hit it With my Axe type show of his own or some shit (with better looking chicks). That not a single one returned to play with him is a pretty strong indication that they weren’t there because they wanted to play D&D with creeps. Something was in it for them besides beers and rat on a stick.

Did he call up an escort service and rent them out for the night to game or something? Was it just a Show and Tell for the unblown social retards over at Dragonsfart to spaz out over?

    The media attention of D&D and AD&D, Gene? You do realize the 700 Club ran it’s D&D Pat Pulling special like 30 fucking years ago right? Oh yeah, I forgot that every other RPG EVAR written was just a crab on Gygax’s nutsack. Fuck, White Wolf got plenty more exposure during the 90’s and onwards than D&D did during that same time but you were probably too busy trying to find the missing room in the Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun to notice. I realize the idea that there was progress and popularity beyond the shadow of Gygax is alien to you, Gene, but there have been advancements and, believe it or not, a few authors out there made a couple sheckles off their products even. That said… CYBORG COMMANDO!!! CYBORG COMMANDO!!! CYBORG FUCKING COMMANDO!!! I suppose Gene blames Mentzer and Mohan for that one and that Gygax’s crude outline was godlike mana from the heavens….

    • February 16, 2013 5:55 am

      White Wolf? I don’t understand that at all. That was nobody’s household name as far as I know. “Okay kids, its vampire night!!!” It didn’t happen.

    Yeah, Geno, keep telling yourself White Wolf never amounted to anything in the roleplaying universe.Then you can gently rock yourself to sleep that even Palladium has carved itself out a nice niche in the hobby. Given, White Wolf was more of a household name and was getting played a lot more during the 90’s while you were fondling your copies of Gord the Rogue in your wee stained undergarments and people were clucking their collective tongues at the sad old git. “Hey, Geno, want to try Ars Magica?” Of course not, it was just a paler rip off of Gygax’s collective genius! CYBORG FUCKING COMMANDOS DEPLOY!!!!

  34. February 17, 2013 10:08 am

    My POV must be like Zardoz to this person! One day they are going to realize that rpgs jumped the shark with “its Satan’s game” unfortunately it won’t be around someone saying White Wolf, Palladium and /or GURPS, etc.,etc., etc. are unplayable. That would be devastating to their out of pocket expense of years into low yield product. In Gene Weigel’s book its never too late to “tune in, turn on and drop out” (drugs optional). GO AHEAD! Flip out on Sandy Peterson and say CoC is all a pile of non-genre garbage. Do it. Thats what I say. Just read a Lovecraft story and look at the baseline of the RPG. Its like night and day. Same for Palladium. Who does that serve? You? Or some weird geek named Siembieda’s ego of getting over on suckers buying cut and paste statted bland gazetteers? I’m not anyone’s enemy except these fucking leeches selling this “just as good” crap. Never mind CYBORG COMMANDO. Do you think I played that crap? I bought it in a comic book shop on the outskirts of Tampa, Florida when I was on a unique road of being in a luxurious situation but trying to get the hell back to my old friends in NYC and away from insincere and superficial people. I read it in depth in this “golden prison” ( no I didn’t get ass raped but I’m sure you’d like that) but when I finally got what I wanted I left old “CC” that day. It wasn’t that interesting. The only thing that I was thinking was all the sci-fi rpg products attempts priorly. Campaigns that burned… RINGWORLD… STARFLEET… STAR FRONTIERS… SPACE LAW… TRAVELLER… only GW in its lack of skill checks was playable beyond the first few tries. Maybe I could adapt “COMMANDO” for GW unfortunately the new GW came out around that time and I wasn’t impressed by its mirroring of the “big characters/bad play” that the trends were doing elsewhere. Gygax is an excuse for you and its a language that I can talk to you that you can understand. It has nothing to do with gameplay. Its all those who disagreed with keeping it simple that are the bad guys. Gygax means nothing. Peterson! Siembieda! Cook! These are like RPG curses.

    Games that you don’t like are played by people you probably don’t like either. Because you don’t like them does not mean they are badwrongfun or didn’t find a following. As a matter of fact you not liking them only makes them better. Your hippy dippy ‘tune in tune out’ bullshit does not make AD&D a good game simply because you say it is so. But, since you can’t read or understand anything but Gygaxian prose in your unmedicated state, I’ll throw you a little boner here.
    I like AD&D (first edition) and just hate you.
