As an historical aside that has never been mentioned before, I wanted TSR to merge with GW, that enterprise getting a quarter interest in the new enterprise formed from merging the two companies, but Ian and Steve were charry of the Blumes. I couldn't come right out and say that I would surely vote with them against my erstwhile partners, so there went that.
Cheers,
Gary

I was sorry that didn't happen. I suppose i might have leveled with Ian and Steve in regards to my concerns to the capacity of Brian and Kevin to continue to run TSR, but I was too loyal to do so. When those two sold out to Lorraine Williams, I truly regreted my decision :\

That is why I kept on creating after the sordid business at TSR, and am still at it to as great an extent as I can manage. I too am a gamer

Gotta love Black AdderGray Mouser said:
I actually told Ian Livingston about the reason for my plan, but that was long after he and Steve had left GW. Ian said had he known my reasoning, had my assurances, he and Steve would have agreed.
Oh, bugger

Heh, my online game sometimes reminds me of the illustrious (mis)adventures of the Black Adder. Of course, they don't need Baldric, being quite capable of pulling off both the coniving and the misfortune on their own

Quite a typical lot then, eh? the beauty of having a good droup is that on any given day at least one of the bunch will have the good sense to avoid the disastrous, thus manage to keep the campaign going. Having been the one leading to misadventure not a few times, i really do apreciate my fellow players intervention at such times

No, it isn't. The Steve Jackson referred to is a Brit, and was the co-owner of Games Workshop back in the 1980s.VirgilCaine said:
