[QUOTE="Quatermane, post: 7654974, member: 6785744"] Oh trust me... I was in the mix of all of that in the late 70s and early 80s. The days I will always cherish the most where when I would attend early GenCon events in Wisconsin where I would see and experience all of the great ideas that other players had and shared. To enjoy the hobby back then, one had to make connections to other players the old fashioned way... relationship networking. But for a 11-16 year old youth back then, resources to do that were meager. I recall when older players would pick me up to drive me to gaming sessions because I could not drive. Telecommuting for a gaming session was NOT an option. But that activity pales in comparison to the synergy and broad exchange of ideas that occurs today. Limitations caused by distance or extent of personal relationships are now gone as long as one has a computer and an Internet connection... and know how to use both of them. Heck, even this very conversation was a pipe dream back then. I guess what I am trying to say is that even though I did connect with many other players back in the day, I still wonder just how much I may have missed and how awesome it would have been to be able to access such content and knowledge back then.
