… auf der TrollBridge:

The point is, more and more I find myself limiting myself to older, out-of-print games with little or no support, just so no one can (or will) tell me how to play them. When they were first created, every one of them came with the tenet, „this is your game now, play it as you want.“ Somehow, seemingly with the advent of the d20 system, that rule no longer applies, which, IMHO, is to the detriment of the hobby as a whole.

Ein zwar alter, aber dennoch sehr guter Artikel ueber Gary Gygax: http://www.wired.com/gaming/virtualworlds/news/2008/03/ff_gygax?currentPage=all

Besonders beeindruckend die abschliessende Passage:

…it was an experience inside a game that prepared him for his ultimate journey, too. At the completion of the round, he tells me, the game master said, „You’ve come to a wall. The wall is the end. It’s death. What do you do?“

Gygax looked him in the eye and said, „I jump over it. When you come to the end and you can’t go any farther, you’ve got to go over the wall. Gotta see what’s there.“
