(Hi Marc! Long time, no see!) Many of the people who started the hobby are in their 60s or older now, and not all of them were the healthiest people to begin with. It’s important we try to remember them now, before they’re gone, for all the good they’ve done for us and the hobby.

While I never played RuneQuest, I did read a few Glorantha books. Who knows, Steve and I may have crossed paths at a convention in the past.

The RPG hobby is 30 years old. We’re going to start losing more and more founding members as the years go by…

I just got a copy of Worlds of Wonder from an ebay auction. I have always had an obsession with Superhero RPGs (gotta get ’em all) and it was neat to see Superworld lite along with basic rules for Scifi and fantasy.

Seems like a lot of the pioneers of rpg gaming are having a rough time. J. Eric Holmes, who wrote the first Basic Set for D&D, had a stroke a while back. Heck, I don’t even know if he is still around. I just read his book on Fantasy Role Playing Games and I wanted to write to thank him for turning D&D into a game I could understand when I was young.
