Due to the ambiguity of the writer's handwriting, I have capitalized as I believed appropriate, and in some cases capitalized whole words instead of using underscores.Introduction: An Editorial by Jim Perelman (Age 13)Gary Gygax has finally proved himself to be a total incompetent asshole. He has thoroughly screwed up the original, FUN, game and turned it into a game of: players win, players win, players win, etc.Among other things, the dumb fuck that I now speak of has completely defeated the thrill and enjoyment of running chaotics saying, (quote) "They are prone to be troublesome and hurtful to the party, should be shunned, and disposed of." Why did they introduce alignment for characters in the first place in this case? Let's face it shmucko, a well run chaotic can kill the party and end up with all the loot. CHAOTICS RULE, bimbo! Just because you may be totally insecure and paranoid and therefore afraid of those who might bring harm to you, doesn't mean you have to persuade others to feel similarly.Getting back to other things he's screwed up, lets talk about some of his spells. Why don't you just let the first level characters have all the ninth level spells while your [you're, sic] at it! You've put in so many unnecessary spells to make the character more powerful it's ridiculous! You've managed to defeat the idea that first levelers are special if they survive, and that should you succeed with more levels gained, you have something to be damned proud of.By the time I get finished re-writing this book so the game's [game is, sic] balanced, I should have it printed under my own title!I'll admit that some things are nice, the exp. charts, the organization, and a FEW new spells, but that acounts [accounts, sic] for about 1% of the actual content, and that ain't such a red-hot average, shithead.Your idea about the planes of existence is about as feasible as the existence of your mythical brain, and psionics have sucked since their birth as well as the Adjusted AC vs. Weapons charts.Another thing you have to be proud you've turned to lizard manure is some of the original material such as spells like Finger of Death and Conjure Animals. In these instances you've taken great spells and turned them into steaming cow-pies. To this you can add your equipment cost chart which is about as realistic as your supposed authorial skill. You've also placed limitations that aren't needed. Why are humans so much better? Have you ever explained WHY dwarves and elves are limited in max. level? I've allowed any character to progress to any level without any problem in my world. Why do healing spells only work on certain types? Listen fart face, if I can make friends with that roaring lion by healing it, I damn well intend to do so!Lastly I'd like to say: you goddamn moronic, son-of-a-bitch! How dare you give gods HTK! You would allow the possibility of a player killing a god? I've seen better heads on a zit! In my world gods can be hurt, humiliated, tortured, etc., but NEVER killed, and my source for that is the ILIAD by Homer. Argue with that you lousy excuse for a game designer!By the way, which one of you assholes wrote up about Elric? You made Stormbringer look like a +1 dagger compared to its true nature. Where did the Ring of Kings get all those powers? I'll tell you where, from the pus draining out of your head, that's where. Do you have any idea how powerful and rare the Noose of Flesh or Elric's powers are? You've made the spells seem first level, and Elric seem like a common M.U.! It's my idea that one of you sped through the books and PRETENDED to have a knowledge of the story.I don't know what your next books will look like, but if they look anything like this or GD & H, then you can bet your life that I'll try to persuade everyone I know NOT to buy them!So-long [no hyphen needed, sic] Peabrain.Signed, yours trulyGotafly Quible [?]King of the [unable to discern word or words]
