Richard--
You are correct, but Frank lifted the name from me. I had briefed him on
the "Into the Belly of the Beast" epic adventure I was going to write to
back up H&I, and obviously the name stuck in his head. When he announced
that he was using that name for Guilded Lilly, I reminded him, "no, I'm
using that over here," and he said, "Oh, okay," and then later he forgot
and put the name back on, and maybe that cycle repeated a couple more
times before I gave up. There are some things that are forces of nature,
and sometimes you can only watch as they carry your house away downstream.
And maybe Frank used the phrase "belly of the beast" a lot, and I picked
it up from him, so he had earlier dibs, but I applied to a specific
product first. I AM sure that Frank did frequently use the following
phrases: "the death of a thousand cuts," "being nibbled to death by
ducks," and "everywhere you go, a$$#oles," the last of which he attributed
to someone he knew. Also, the principle generally referred to as
"Chadwick's Law": "you can never have too much movement," Frank always
called "Glenn Kidd's Law."
So no, since this is all post-official GDW publication hobby,
doing-this-in-my-spare-time stuff, I gets to keep my name.
Please don't tell me how it officially ended in 1248. My brain is firmly
fixed in 1994-5/1202 where it was all still unfolding, and that's where I
like it.
"Oh, no, no, we won't give in, let's go living in the past."
