 Well, remember that tabletop RPGs started as an addon for a really groggy wargame that barely amounted to a pamphlet. True to tradition, many of them contain hundreds of pages on combat resolution and some handwaving about everything else.

gently caress, there's an award for that? I better get one when I turn 50 :colbert:

An early 80s gaming rag gave him one somewhere around 83. Dude cranked out 7 games in 1981, mostly unlicensed arcade ports.
