OK, so we took the piss, alot. Dragons in 10 x 10 rooms and the like, but you have to start somewhere.

That is quite upseting really.

This bloke has basically shaped my life since I first played a game with Dunk after a bored day after school back in the late 70's.

Some of my best memories were huddled around the table with the lights out, candles on and an FX's tape in the background thinking I have only got 2 hits left and I need an 19 to hit with my dagger....... happy days. Now I have trouble finding 1 day a year to even play

Thanks for making my childhood a happy one Mr Gygax

(He obviously failed his System Shock roll this time......)

Full Frontal Nerdity Tribute.


"If I cannot die with honour, then I shall live without it."

"What I love best about Maelstrom is that unexpected quality; the shifts in the balance of power. Empires rise and fall in a matter of months and years. Alliances morph and twist. Old enemies are forced to work together. Politics makes strange befellows." - Ian Sturrock

Great Moments in Gygax: Random Harlot Encounter Table







A voice was heard to say, “Who dares disturb the crypt of the Immortal Space Bitches?”
“I am Grimm Shado,” said Grimm Shado, triple wand claws extending. “And I am here to take it to the limit.”
