So even the mighty Gygax fails a saving throw now and again...
Without him, I wouldn't be the geek I am today. I'd watch the movie as a memorial, but it's complete garbage... (except for Jeremy Irons hamming for all he's worth...) ..Actually, the second movie (yes, there is one, "Wrath of the Dragon God") isn't that bad, with a decent effects budget it could've been quite good really... (Both, of course, infinitely better than the cartoon series.)
A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the 
up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

The good-cleric in me takes communion from a glass of coke and an oreo.
The chao-thief in me wonders what was in his pockets.
RIP and thanks for the memories
