As Ian says, I have to thank Gary Gygax for the large number of friends I've made though gaming over the past twenty years, including your friends Ash and Tony.

Not least the totally spurious system for working out which pole-arm is best against which sort of armour. However, it was the way in to the genre for many. Without it my world world would have been different. I suspect it would not have been beter. There are many imperfections in the D&D system and its immediate decendants.

Without Gary, I would never have discovered the wonder and excitement of RPG. I would never have joined compuserve and later Dreamlyrics. I would never have met you (Tim) or the other friends gained through game playing. I still remember the night I watched the Money Programme on BBC2, it was an interview with him about D&D. That night changed my life. He will be missed. A real shame. Without Gary, I would never have discovered the wonder and excitement of RPG. I would never have joined compuserve and later Dreamlyrics.
