“There the Gibbelins Lived and Discreditably Fed” by Sidney H Sime, from Lord Dunsany’s story “The Hoard of the Gibbelins” in The Book of Wonder, 1912. This is the tale of a knight who becomes obsessed with seeking the treasures of some man-eating creatures who live at the edge of the world. “Alas that I should say of so perilous a venture, undertaken at dead of night by a valorous man, that its motive was sheer avarice!”

The next story in the this collection is “How Nuth Would Have Practised His Art Upon the Gnoles” in which two thieves go into the gnoles’ forest to steal their emeralds.

Lord Dunsany’s most important influence on D&D probably isn’t his vaguely described fairy tale monsters, but his greedy human characters who travel to the homes of nonhuman creatures to steal from them, often coming to a bad end. D&D originally awarded characters 1 experience point per 1 gold piece looted, as well as for defeating monsters, prompting players to follow the examples of Lord Dunsany’s adventurous thieves and seek ever greater riches in more dangerous lairs.

[Woodchuck Waits – Dec. 1, 2022]

“Deep in his burrow he’s safe from other mouths. It’s his own hunger he has to escape. Winter has wiped bare his vegetarian table. He would starve if he stayed awake. Asleep—a sleep so deep his heart barely beats and his body cools to nearly the temperature of ice—he expends almost no energy. Only at a glacial pace does he burn the fat he added eating up to three pounds of greens and fruit each lush day of summer. In deep sleep his hunger is subdued, his substance shrinks, but is not consumed.”

–Gayle Boss, All Creation Waits: the Advent Mystery of New Beginnings,  p. 45

“The Lean, High House of the Gnoles“ by Sidney H Sime, from Lord Dunsany’s story “How Nuth Would Have Practised His Art Upon the Gnoles” in his collection The Book of Wonder, 1912.  For this volume Sime drew the illustrations first, then Lord Dunsany wrote stories to match them, inventing the name “gnoles” for these creatures and deciding that the humans actually were the intruders in this scene.  Gary Gygax acknowledged Lord Dunsany as the initial inspiration for his own gnolls in D&D, and listed the author in AD&D’s Appendix N.
