Dungeons and Dragons was the big icebreaker. I had played wargames before then, but it was the game that really opened up everything for me in gaming. One of these days I'll post my boring personal history of gaming, but for now, let me say that other my Religious Faith, gaming (and the friends it has brought me) has had the biggest effect on all of the different aspects of my life.

I owe almost all of this to Gary Gygax for making it happen.

I tip my great helm to you Zagyg, fare thee well. May we meet again.
