What a great quiz!
Offhand I think I know about 25% of the answers. The rest I'd have to look up. I'll bet a few people out there could ace this without referencing.
Re: Question 30.
Knowing you, I wouldn't dare to think...
I thought the answer was 'my hand'.
Great quiz!
For #30, if you are like me, the answer is dice.
30: is that a roll of quarters, or are you just happy to see me.
I'm happy to see you because I have a roll of quarters. Let's go to the arcade and blow it!

Wow, the ones about old school modules and adventures threw me, I haven’t played most of those. For what its worth, here are my attempt at answers:
1. Legacy of Fire
2. Varisia
3. Ed Greenwood
4. Drizzt DoUrden (I know I’ll lose points for spelling and lack of apostrophes…)
5. They are called Gish if they are multiclass warrior-type / arcane magic user type (classically fighter/mage) – was this the trick question?
6. Dragonlance
7. Zuggtmoy
8. Sigil
9. Michael Roele (I never played Birthright, so I didn’t know this one – had to google it)
10. Challenge of Champions series
11. Tasha’s Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter (and I don’t know why they shortened it!)
12. Tarrasque I think?
13. Sammaster ? OR if this is the trick question, Ed Greenwood.
14. Oh … I don’t know, 333?
15. Tharizdun
16. Orcus
17. Hmmm … don’t know …
18. Grazzt and Iggwilv
19. I should know this… Is it Black Razor?
20. Ygorl and …Ssendam
21. I seem to think it was Roger E Moore, but I could be way off (for all I know its James or Erik)
22. I’ve heard of the adventure, but never seen it, and can’t remember the name
23. London Calling
24. Um … the Cult of the Reptile God ? (never played it!)
25. Never played this one either … I wish my early DMs had believed in running modules!
26. See above
27. Satan. Officially? No, I don’t think so.
28. Um…
29. Um…
30. What has he got in his pockets Precious? (You have, of course, the Precious).
I’d say I’d probably get about 20 of 30 (less if points are deducted for incorrect spelling).
I ain't blowing what's in your pocket.
I've fallen for that one before...
I had a feeling you'd go there. ;)
2. Varisia
3. Greenwood
4. Drizzt Do'Dumbass... er, Do'Urden
5. Gish
6. DragonLance! (The novels got me started on the path to D&D)
7. Zuggtmoy
8. Sigil
9. ???
10. The recurring Challenge of Champions
11. I wish I knew
12. No clue, but it sounds like a pain in the arse
13. Ronald McDragon?
14. Somewhere between 1 and 1,000,000?
15. Tharizdun
16. Orcus! (My favorite Demon Lord)
17. The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb
18. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver?
19. Storm-departer?
20. Emeril and Wolfgang... oh, Slaad! No clue.
21. I really wish I knew!
22. ???
23. Ditto (???)
24. Where the heck is Orlane?
25. The sun room?
26. Lefty and Righty?
27. Satan; there is a fleeting mention of him in the back of the BoVD, and since 2e was known for moving away from using actual demons and devils, I'm going to make an educated guess and say "Yes, in 1e."
28. The one which made Tolkien roll in his grave? (I hear he got a 20!)
29. A Christmas one?
30. Not fair! Not fair! It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?
In all, not bad (I think) for a whippersnapper who's never played anything but 3.x.

1. Legacy of Fire
2. Varisia
3. Ed Greenwood

26. Don't know but I loved Zz'pzora(sp)?, the crazy two-headed Deep Dragon from Daughter of the Drow.
27. Tanas. No.
28. A Blind Deer!
29. I remeber seeing this, but can't remeber (man that was too long ago!)

30. What have I got in my pocket?
Okay, I'll bite and see how I can do without googling or looking at any books:
2. Varisia
3. Ed Greenwood
4. Driz'zt Do'Urden
5. Gish
6. Dragonlance
7. Zuggtmoy
8. Sigil
9. ? I know his bastard son is the Gorgon but I can't remember. I haven't looked at my Birthright stuff in a while.
10. ?
11. Tasha's uncontrollable hideous laughter (which doesn't beat Leomund's lamentable belaborment for most esoteric old-school D&D spell name EVAR)
12. In 2E, which monster healed all hp damage at the end of each round?
13. Sammaster
14. 128
15. In 1st Ed, it really was just the Elder Elemental God. In 2nd Ed it was Ghaunadaur. In 3rd Ed it was really secretly Tharizdun.
16. Orcus
17. ?
18. Graz'zt and Iggwilv
19. Blackrazor
20. Ygorl and Ssendam
21. I'm going to guess Kim Mohan but I'm not sure. Might be Roger Moore (but not the James Bond one).
22. City Beyond the Gate in Dragon #100
23. ?
24. Explictica Defilus, a spirit naga
25. This must be the trick question, because the location of the sunblade depended on the cards you drew to determine its location (along with the icon of Ravenloft and I think one other thing.
26. Oh crap. The adventure is A Paladin in Hell, which I ran, and I can see the map of the dragon's lair in the giant moat surrounding Straoth's Tower in the demiplane inside the Demonwing in my mind but I can't remember its name. Do I get half credit for pointint out that it was not technically a two-headed dragon but a dread linnorm?
27. Satan, and yes, he was statted up in an article entitled "The Politics of Hell," which I don't know the original issue but was reprinted in Best of the Dragon #2.
28. ?
29. ?
30. Presumably the One Ring of Power. That or pocket lint. Or, to use Gollum's guesses: "Knife; Handses; string or nothing," the last being a cheat, as it was two answers in one.
Not bad for not looking anything up.
6 clear "I don't know"
A couple of guesses or partial answers.
About 20 right. Pretty good I think.
wow you are a superstar; I am way to befuddled with sleep deprivation and hopped up on coffee and a load of other excuses for how I was amazed that you remembered all those names; whew; my hat is off to you; dip me horns as well.
I carry two d10 and a d6; d6+d10=d20 :)
You too? I carry this D20 everywhere...And I can answer maybe a third of those questions.Great quiz!
For #30, if you are like me, the answer is dice.
hehe on several like Iuz's parents; I knew who; just dont spell wierd stuff that well; i dont see how you guys remember how to spell of these guys names; I just rename them as Bob; Bill and such; hehe just ask my players the name of a certain Mezzodeamon; I dont do weird names.
Haha! I loves me slaad lords! I know that one!
Edit* Meh, I thought I was the first to know that one...curses. Oh well, I know about 20 of the 30 off the top of my head, but the rest are completely clueless, not even a cobweb covered box in the back of my brain.
Does anyone remember, back around 1995 or so, there was a second edition product that had a big (I mean like 100+ questions) quiz very similar to this? It might have been a promo handout or something, and it may be from even earlier (I'm peicing it to a time by the surroundings I remember reading it in, but thats a 8 year span).
How about a bonus question on the Slaad: What famous SF author originally came up with the concept of the Slaad while still a teenager?

Yeah, I think I still have that somewhere. It came out in 1995. It was some kind of free promo thing. It was coolio!

9. What was the name of the last Emperor of Anuire? Michael Roele
(Jason, The Gorgon was the illegitimate great-uncle (with quite a few greats) of Michael.)
I knew he was some kind of relation. Just not quite right.
12. In 2E, which monster healed all hp damage at the end of each round? Greater wolfwere, from the Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium I. They used to have “8+3” HD, meaning that with an average of 39 hp you’d have to deal more than that much in one round, or it would be fully healed… :-) And they appeared in groups of 1-4. :-)
It’d be great to have these brought back, especially if you added a few levels of barbarian… but then I can be a vicious SOB. :-)
Whoever answered the Midgard Serpent also gave a very close answer, since in the 1st Ed. Deities & Demigods the MS's body had infinite hit points and its head had 300 hit points, all of which would regenerate at the end of every round. Just it was 1st Ed and you asked for 2nd. I was kicking myself for not remembering it when I saw (after I had posted my answers) that someone had given that as their answer.
Thanks for the quiz - fun!
Luna, you remembered that!?! I could only remember the issue number, and had to look the title up. I'm impressed; congratulations!
It also tells something about the number of years I have been playing D&D, and therefore about my age :-)
