Yeah, maybe their fingers have all rotted off and, while bumping the mouse around with their nose allows them to vote Wolfie, they have trouble typing up a post...

...

...yeah, that's definitely it, and its not that terrainmonkey is all about computer-isp-hopping poll-fixin' maddyness!!! YOU BASTARD!!! ;-)

Hurray! All those days of rest/study animate voter/cast animate voter finally pay off. *This* is what democracy is all about, yes!

Arise, ye undead legions! Victory over the Logue is at hand!

Hmmm. Now I've got this perfectly good undead legion, they've all voted, now what should I do with them....? Swim to Hawaii! The Logue shall not escape! :)

shoot, now we're going to have to create a pearl of invisibility purge....

lets see here, get the koprus involved, and some help from richard pett (who is clearly an enemy to mr. Logue). we need a pretty big radius, probably about 10 miles or so.

we will find you, and make you one of us!

I heard that if nick won this poll he was going to fly all those that voted for him to hawaii for a massive game of 4th edition d&d on paizo's currant AP for that time.

Hey, how come Wolfgang gets such a cool title? I would like to formally request becoming Richard Pett, Contributor, Monocle and Top-Hat wearing Roper Lord , or Gas-Spore Paladin Lord, or something...

And remember a vote for Rich gets you a free trip to the styes! Hmm is this a good thing? According to the 3,5,7 word games I still have an itch, maybe I got it in my last trip to the styes.

Dave Howery, Sun, Mar 4, 2007, 08:29 PM

unfortunately, I fell out of D&D and reading Dungeon clear back around issue 100 or so... the only one of these authors I remember is Wolfgang. Reynolds' name sounds familiar, but I can't place just who he is. Hey, they say the memory is the first thing to go.....

Thanks!

Actually, my first paid writing gig ever was in DUNGEON. Can anyone name the issue? Since then, the floodgates have opened!

But that flood, alas, hasn't swept away any recent DUNGEON issues. My most recent contribution is "Fortune Favors the Dead" in issue #80, with that great cover art by Mark Zug.

Ah, yes... this one. Nice.

Lance Hawvermale, Wed, Mar 7, 2007, 04:48 AM

I've sometimes wondered about updating the adventure to 3.5, or writing a sequel to it, but with the magazine only printing three (four?) adventures per issue now, it seems a harder nut to crack . . . besides, I'm pretty rusty on my 3.5 rules. When I write a D20 module for Necromancer Games, I keep the rules fairly light, and depend upon the D20 editors to clean up after me.

Request: can some of Wolfie's fans point me towards the adventures he's written that are making you vote for him? Gathering of Winds was OK, but not in the same league as, say, Sea Wyvern's Wake, in my opinion. There must be others that are better, or he wouldn't be beating the Nemesis of Pett by 1%.

I'd agree that "Gathering" is good but not great. I suspect I'm coasting on "Kingdom of the Ghouls" (issue 70) and my recent work for WotC and Open Design.

Some Castle Shadowcrag fans have voted for me based on that, for instance. It's pretty great, even if I am slightly biased.

Danke schoen, Herr Baur. I'll see if I can get a PDF of issue 70, and I'll check out that link as well. Thank you again!

Well worth it. My copy of #70 has seen better days and The Kingdom of the Ghouls is such an inspiring adventure.

Willie Walsh, folks... I so miss "Mr Katan and the Mushroom Band," and "Song of the Fens." Walsh had such a great sense of humor...

Of course, I will say that I enjoy the more recent adventures. But having every issue kinda spoils you, ya know?

Thank you! I'm updating the concept to 3.5, but it's going to be 96 or 128 pages, so too long for Dungeon. If you'd like the update, please support it at Open Design.

My shameless pimpery is getting worse. At some point, I really gotta cut back. :)

Oh, but that was really smooth. You need an addendum to your title: Ghoul Lord Pimp.

You can't prove I wrote those. In fact, I'm certain I can prove I didn't. Tee! Hee!

I had to vote other for two big contributors that didn't make the list: Willie Walsh and Christopher Perkins. Glad I didn't have to choose between them, though the Irishman would probably get the nod.

LOL, those are the same two I was looking for. Mr. P is my choice hands down, though, for his excellent and creative adventures. Planescape anyone ("Umbra", "Nemesis")? A little (Shackled City) Adventure Path action to brighten your day ("Life's Bazaar", "Lords of Oblivion")? How about the dearly departed Alternity ("Convergence", "Planet of Darkness" (not Dungeon, I know))? More traditional fare ("Quelkin's Quandary", "Redcap's Rampage")?

It's not just the adventures themselves, either. The maps...ah, the maps. Someone else actually made the maps for the adventures, I know, but it was the creative design, not the implementation, that I enjoyed.
