Those of you who do not game, please wait.
Those of you who do: do you remember your first real RPG character? The first one that you spent any amount of time fleshing out, in your mind?
You do?
Then remember also Dave Arneson, for he was the man that made that possible for us, and he has passed on to his reward. No cheesy joke about rolling well on the appropriate tables, although he probably wouldn’t have minded.
