I ask a question to start it off. First person to post the correct answer gets to ask a question.
Then it goes from there. Whoever answers correctly, asks the next one.
Questions must be related to D&D, and try to avoid specific rules questions, or very narrow campaign things, as they can be rather dull.

To start things off easily:

The magic system of D&D is based off the writings of a specific author. Whats his first AND last name ?

New question.

Futurama. There was a beholder guarding Hermes' bureaucratic headquarters. And there was an episode that had a rust monster in it. I remember the door opening and there it is, but not what it was doing there. Also Gary Gygax was in an episode.

This one should be easier:

What late night sketch program featured a recurring character who was based on its creator's D&D character? What was the name of the character and who played/created him?

Lothar of the Hill People! Mike Myers.

I'll edit in a question when I get good one in mind.

EDIT: What was the GP value of the gemstone eyes (individually) that could be pried from the eyes of the Statue of Orcus in the Throne of Bloodstone Adventure?
