Subject: Letters to Dragon

The following letters were actually received by the editors of DRAGON Magazine and, except for minor editing, appear as they were written. Also included are Dragon's replies. These are from the September 1988, #137 issue.

Dear Dragon:

Recently my AD&D game character, Waldorf, a 358th-level magic-user, created the nuclear bomb. Due to this action, all of Greyhawk has been utterly oblitereated, except for a 3x4 mile island with a castle called Castle Waldorf.
All creatures from the Monster Manuals were destroyed due to large amounts of nuclear fallout. All the deities work in a salt mine under Waldorf's castle. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone would mail their character sheets to me so that I may tally up Waldorf's experience. All of the game manuals and modules are now totally false and untrue. Any profit made rom TSR's merchandise from this day onward should be mailed to Waldorf's castle (in gold pieces, of course).


Of course. However, you forgot to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope. We regret that Waldorf must lose the experience points and gold for his victory.

Dear Dragon:

My friends and I have been playing the AD&D game for over six years now. Our major characters have levels in the millions, maximum scores for almost every ability, and can obliterate five planes of the Abyss in a round. We have moved on to other games and have developed other major characters in those games. We have created creatures that are barely a challenge for our characters. After a while, role-playing got boring. I haven't played for about two months. I would like to know how I can have fun with these high-level characters.


Perhaps you should meet Waldorf.

Dear Dragon:

I would like for you to know that I agree that the second edition of the AD&D game is a wonderful idea. It's going to repair mistakes such as a sling stone cutting off a person's head, which happened to me once.


How perfectly dreadful.

Dear Dragon:

I would like to know what wouldbe the characteristics of the offspring of a unicorn and a horse that was then bred back with a unicorn.


The characteristics of the offspring of a unicorn and a horse would not change, no matter what it was bred with.

Dear Dragon:

Stop making your game. I killed all the monsters.


All but Waldorf.

Dear Dragon:

Could you send me all the information you have?


All of it?
