Very sad, RIP. I started off playing minatures with his Chainmail rules. Once a geek always a geek!

It's kinda messed up, but somehow appropriate.

Exactly. It fits the situation. RIP nonetheless.

I meant no disrespect for the guy. I am saddened by his passing. His creation was, for a short while, a part of my youth.
I figure it's appropriate for the tittle.


(Yes Raj and Raptor, I'm a nerd/geek and proud of it. Since I live in Silicon valley it's a badge of honor.)

It's stuff like this that brings all the "once nerds" out of the closet. Though I wasn't even born when this game was popular, I'm still a fan of RPGs. The title was very appropriate, though to get geeky, 0 hp can be raised by some phoenix down (Final Fantasy reference).
