My thought was that his judgement is selecting life mates is equivalent to his judgement about RPG's...oh, wait...he disdained the use of abbreviations....

> I loved the game as a kid. In full disclosure, we didn't create characters exactly rules as written, nor did we play the game rules as written. Beyond that, it was my first fantasy roleplaying game, so I had no point of reference for what a good game was or wasn't. Now, I've seen games come and go since then, and there are a few other systems I now prefer to that of P&P, but in the moment, in the 80s, I loved P&P for what it was. In this vein, it did not fail - agreeing with Scott's opinion. It provided a lifetime of memories and great fun. Who didn't love rolling on the Special Events table?!
