In the 40+years I've known Steve he has always been a man of
integrity & never one to "mealy-mouth" anything. I've always
admired him as a good man & a staunch friend.<i> I could always
whip him on the battlefield though, LOL <span
class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span>.</i> And as far
as I know the closest he got to AD&D was invoking a reverse
dollar sign as a saving rune against Gygax.<br>

that in the rules, but did *anyone* really visualize what
was going on in RQ3 as anything but a blow-by-blow account

mealy-mouthed weaseling about what was being represented ala
AD&D. In fact, it sounds almost like a direct quote
from the AD&D DM's guide.</font></div>
