That's like someone saying "Tenser" in one of my games when asked. He
figured things were bad enough that attracting the attention of an epic mage
might not be such a bad idea.

Gary, Marc, Dave Arneson, and the other early RPG pioneers are folks we
probably owe a lot to if we think of all the hours of fun the hobby has
brought us.

RIP, big G.
