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.

Actually, I played for a short while in Peter Aronson's campaign.  Him being a Bostonian (at least at the time), it's pretty unlikely he ever played in one of Gygax's campaigns.

For those of you scoring at home, the comics stage performer/mountebank was exactly what he had in mind -- Mandrake, Zatara, Sargon, that lot.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

Neeters. If those were some of the inspirations then makes sense as several of those characters had actual magic powers to back their tricks.
