LOL!!! along with a GGGGRRRRROOOOAAAANNNNN!!!! That is just plain bad, aweful, putrid - oh there aren't enough of these adjectives in Roget's Thesarus to describe Gygax's writing. That was terrible! Perhaps Gord is seepage from Gygax's inner psych. You know, his meglomania rising out through ink and paper.

If memory serves me well, this is the same man that bemoaned the state of AD&D through all the power gaming that was going on. He would write how wonderful it was, as well as fortunat, for a group of hardy adventurers to come upon 50 pieces of silver. Or, how there must be balance in the game and monty hauls just destroy the whole concept (and I got to admit, it does destroy the concept). The problem is Gord the Rogue IS monty haul on two legs! Thanks for taking the time, Memnoch. I didn't end up wasting any money so the spoilers are much appreciated. By the way, just how does Dance with Demons end? Does Gord walk off into the sunset? Was there any hints of more to come? (oh, let's hope not!) Does he go after good with the same passion as he does evil? With all his powers does Gord just decide to wipe away all good and evil? Life is filled with so many unanswered questions!
