| #2zombie_babiesDec 18, 2012 16:06:18 | Who is this Ed Greenwood person and why should I care? |
| #3The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 0:06:55 | Who is this Ed Greenwood person and why should I care? Didnt you use to post in the Reamls forums? And now youre going to pretend like you dont know who he is? for shame!! |
| #4The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 0:07:57 | Who is this Ed Greenwood person and why should I care? couldnt of said it better myself. |
| #5The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 0:09:31 | Interview with Ed Greenwood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G3uMX4ZxpU Ignore those other wads, theyre just jelous. Seriously thanks for sharing this, although it probably woulda fit better in the Realms section. |
| #6homicidal_squirrelDec 19, 2012 0:17:23 | Who is this Ed Greenwood person and why should I care? You could have added a subject to the sentence. ![]() |
| #7ADHadhDec 19, 2012 1:36:28 | Ok, so now I know who he is, but I still don't kno why should I care either. |
| #8The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 2:59:19 | Who is this Ed Greenwood person and why should I care? I didnt even look at the keyboard, what more do you want from me!? |
| #9The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 3:01:08 | Ok, so now I know who he is, but I still don't kno why should I care either. I thought you was a Drizzt fanboy? |
| #10ADHadhDec 19, 2012 5:52:59 | Ok, so now I know who he is, but I still don't kno why should I care either. What? What made you think that? Only D&D novels I've read was a Kidd one and ToEE novelization, both incredibly horrid. |
| #11zombie_babiesDec 19, 2012 8:10:30 | Didnt you use to post in the Reamls forums? And now youre going to pretend like you dont know who he is? for shame!! I think I may have posted in the Realms section about twice. As I have over 30k posts, well, I would hardly consider that evidence that I used to post there. So yeah, why should we care about some interview with some dood who apparently wrote stuff for some game we're only vaguely familiar with? |
| #12zombie_babiesDec 19, 2012 9:25:30 | Ewww. |
| #13The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 12:06:13 | Ok, so now I know who he is, but I still don't kno why should I care either. I seem to recall you being all giddy when the Drizzt novels were translated into Polish, and you lamented the fact that you was confused as to which one to read first, that sounds like a fanboy to me! |
| #14The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 12:09:45 | Didnt you use to post in the Reamls forums? And now youre going to pretend like you dont know who he is? for shame!! I seem to recall you nerdraging about the changes to the 4e Realms, It is possible, although unlikely, that i have you confused with someone else. I guess I could dig through the archives and dig up your old Realms posts, but im tired, and I need to be gettin to work, so youre off the hook, this time!! |
| #15EruditeApeDec 19, 2012 12:12:48 | Is Silversword really confusing ZB and Plu? Really? |
| #16The_SilverswordDec 19, 2012 12:14:43 | It is possible, they do have similar avatars. |
| #17EruditeApeDec 19, 2012 12:21:16 | It is possible, they do have similar avatars. No, not really. |
| #18zombie_babiesDec 19, 2012 12:59:31 | I seem to recall you nerdraging about the changes to the 4e Realms, It is possible, although unlikely, that i have you confused with someone else. I guess I could dig through the archives and dig up your old Realms posts, but im tired, and I need to be gettin to work, so youre off the hook, this time!! You do understand that even if I posted over 1000 times in the FR section that it still wouldn't mean I 'posted' there. 30k posts, holmes. Anything under 5 is like it didn't even happen. |
| #19ADHadhDec 19, 2012 14:22:46 | I seem to recall you being all giddy when the Drizzt novels were translated into Polish, and you lamented the fact that you was confused as to which one to read first, that sounds like a fanboy to me! A fanboy wouldn't be confused, would he? ![]() And no, I ended up not picking them. I think someone might have discouraged me. |
| #20The_SilverswordDec 20, 2012 1:20:48 | It is possible, they do have similar avatars. Well not back then they werent, but they are now, back then IIRC ZB was using Elminster, and im almost positive that ADHadh used Drizzt at least once! |
| #21ADHadhDec 20, 2012 4:52:14 |
You'd be wrong about the latter ![]() |
| #22The_SilverswordDec 20, 2012 5:00:40 | For real? I figured everybodies been Drizzt at least once, just me!? |
| #23ADHadhDec 20, 2012 5:03:34 | For real? I figured everybodies been Drizzt at least once, just me!? I certainly didn't; I think these days Drizzt has been replaced by Jace anyway ![]() |
| #24zombie_babiesDec 20, 2012 7:54:27 | Well not back then they werent, but they are now, back then IIRC ZB was using Elminster, and im almost positive that ADHadh used Drizzt at least once! dood, I never used an Elminster avvy. Back before the White Doom I didn't like any of the avvys and so I didn't use one. Once the WD came about and allowed us customs I used the one most people seem to pick (I think it's Jace) until someone posted that OTTer drinkin' a beer pic. I used that until ADHadh sent me that awesome OTTer saint pic. Then I used a few different ones including the banned member image (heh), the same with a red x on its forehead, the one I have now, the zombie one, Mike Mearls and some others I can't recall. Never Elminster, yo. |
| #25The_SilverswordDec 20, 2012 12:02:12 | But you do know who Elminster is! That proves that youre a Forgotten Realms fanboy! |
| #26zombie_babiesDec 20, 2012 12:17:37 | You're reading too deep, yo. Me acknowledging a name that you used and also knowing which avatars I've used doesn't mean I know who the name you used is. It's simply a matter of knowing what I used and that none of those was anything called an Elminster - whatever that may be. I mean, you could say I used a pic of Mt Kolob as an avvy and I could do the same thing. Do I have any idea what Mt Kolob looks like or is? Nope. But I don't need to to know I didn't use it as an avvy pic if I know what I have used as avvy pics. Savvy? |
| #27The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 0:13:46 | I meant to get to this sooner but I figured why bother? end of the world and all that, but we're still here! Stupid Mayans! Ok, Anyways, ok, so I cant find it now, the fact that they merged all the Realms forums into one doent help, but I distinctly remember ZB posting in there bemoaning the Spellplauge and all the changes wrought to his favorite game setting. |
| #28homicidal_squirrelDec 22, 2012 0:30:10 | I meant to get to this sooner but I figured why bother? end of the world and all that, but we're still here! Stupid Mayans! I found it for you. I, ZB, am bemoaning the Spellplauge and all the changes wrought to my favorite game setting. |
| #29The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 0:33:48 | Hell yeah, thanks man, see I knew I wasnt crazy! |
| #30homicidal_squirrelDec 22, 2012 0:44:36 | You? Crazy? ![]() |
| #31Robin_HoodlumDec 22, 2012 8:54:53 | Who's Ed Greenwood? |
| #32The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 12:24:37 | Who's Ed Greenwood? Seriously? You too? Gah! He just invented the best game setting ever thats all. |
| #33The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 12:40:19 | Who's Ed Greenwood? Actually I was refering to Planescape, but the Realms is still pretty kool, actually the fact that its always changing it one of the reasons why I like it, makes it seem more alive to me, knowhatimean? |
| #34The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 13:00:44 | Alot of Ed's notes on portals and the planes for the Realms was used for Planescape, he also wrote a few articles for Dragon on the 9 Hells that was incorpprated into Planescape, alot of Planescape came from Ed, he just didnt get paid/credit for it. And some of the newer tomes, such as Neverwinter, Menzoberranzan, and Elminster's Forgotten Realms have brought more lore and fluff back into the Realms! |
| #35The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 13:31:30 | Well I thought they was good books, especially the Elminter's Realms one, all fluff, no crunch at all, I love it, but I understand that sort of thing isnt for everybody, some of you just have to have new feats or powers or whatever with your books. And I think theres only 4 books focusing on Drow, theres the Menzo boxed set, the 4e book, 2e's Drow of the Underdark and Drizzt's guide to the Underdark, which is a good one even if Drizzt is on it, had a lot of maps of Underdark cities! Oh and if we're counting Adventures, then theres War of the Spiderqueen or whatever, so theres only 5 books on Drow, unless you want to count novels too, then , well I dont know how many that would make it. And im telling you Monte Cook Jeff Grubb got most of his ideas on Planescape from Ed, just ask him (Ed not Grubb). |
| #36homicidal_squirrelDec 22, 2012 15:15:26 | And im telling you Monte Cook Jeff Grubb got most of his ideas on Planescape from Ed, just ask him (Ed not Grubb). Actually, Ed got all of his Forgotten Realms stuff from me. Also, the stuff that he said Grubb got fom him, Ed actually got from me. Ask me; I'll tell you. |
| #37The_SilverswordDec 22, 2012 17:02:31 | Now hold the phone here, Im not saying Ed has an ego and is always going on about how he came up with Planescape, I dont think hes ever said that, but if you read some of his earlier stuff on portals and planes alot of it sounds very Planescapeish, and this was a while before Planescape came out so I dont think Ed copied PS i think they copied him. When I said just ask Ed, I didnt mean to imply that Ed would tell you all about, just that Grubb wouldnt. And I meant that as more of a joke, Although Ive never actually met either one in real life, they both seem like very down to earth people, from what ive seen from interviews or what ever. And really I think they should put out more books on the cooking habits of Dwarves. |
| #38Robin_HoodlumDec 23, 2012 9:36:05 | ![]() I know who Ed Greenwood is! I was just... ... well, I was just "joking"... ![]() |
| #39Mad_JackDec 23, 2012 12:54:09 | Ed Greenwood? Wasn't he that guy that... Oh, nevermind.. That was Ed Gein. ( That whole thing about cooking dwarves got me confused...) |
| #40The_SilverswordDec 23, 2012 16:42:06 | See, I knew you guys knew who Ed Greenwood was! You just sayin you didnt cause you knew that id go off, and for some reason you find that amusing. And MJ Ed Greenwood hasnt eaten THAT many dwarves. |
| #41Robin_HoodlumDec 23, 2012 16:49:51 | You just sayin you didnt cause you knew that id go off, and for some reason you find that amusing. Well, this is the OTT... People set me off all the time purely for their personal enjoyment. Of course, I am rather easy to set off... Also, it's easier to be a dick on the internet because the person can't get their hands on you... |
| #42homicidal_squirrelDec 23, 2012 20:35:22 |
maybe he wants to get his hands on you guys for other purposes. |
| #43Robin_HoodlumDec 23, 2012 22:59:27 |
My dad did teach me how to hunt... I just don't like doing it. And you know where I live if you ever wanna come see me broski. |
| #44homicidal_squirrelDec 23, 2012 23:15:57 |
You know it's better for business if you are willing to make out-calls. |
| #45The_SilverswordDec 24, 2012 2:31:53 | Hey, another kool thing about Ed is he still takes time out of his day to answer questions from fans via Candlekeep.com and other forums. One time he actually answered my question and I was so excited I had to tell my wife Ed Greenwood answered my question! She just looks at me and says "who's Ed Greenwood?" lol she came in here and asked what I was arguing about now, I dont think I argue alot, do i? anyways, Im like these guys never heard of Ed Greenwood, just just rolls her eyes and says oh god! and leaves, haha |
| #46zombie_babiesDec 24, 2012 8:50:00 |
Isn't he the one that had that great line about pretty girls? Something about like how when he sees a pretty girl part of him thinks about how nice it would be to take her out to dinner and a movie ... and another part of him wonders what her head would look like on a stick? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was Ed Greenwood. |
| #47The_SilverswordDec 24, 2012 17:59:33 |
Ok yes, so Ed Greenwood did say that, that doesnt mean hes lacking in the game setting department! |
