This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Scrivener of Doom;922768Mordenkainen was one of Gygax's characters in games run for him by the unfortunately named Rob Kuntz. WG5 Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure was based on an actual adventure DMed by Kuntz and played by Gygax using Mordenkainen, Tenser, et al. I'm not sure if he actually tried to play/run 1E by the book.

We also know that Arneson played with MAR Barker, and MAR Barker has played in (an) Arneson's game(s), and probably others. Arneson's character in Tekumel was named Harchar, a pirate:).

BTW, until this thread, I'd always assumed that the authors that playtest at all would both GM and play using the rules;).
What Do You Do In Tekumel? See examples!

Gronan of Simmerya (formerly Old Geezer) posts here (Geezer used to play with Gary & Dave). It would be interesting to hear him discuss Gary as Player.

Also, Welcome to theRPGsite!!!

Oh yeah, I remember OG's posts over at RPG.net.

And, thanks - I actually joined about six years ago but found that I couldn't access the site in my Third World country of domicile. It seems that my ISP is blacklisted by this site. However, in the first world I do have access. :)

Quote from: Christopher Brady;922764So honest question:  Would you want to play in one of your designs run by someone else?

Sure! That'd be a blast.
Though I'd be concerned the GM might feel nervous.
