[QUOTE="JohnRTroy, post: 4978069, member: 2732"] Yeah, Tom Wham still lives in LG. He's a big boardgame geek and I got to play a few games with him, EGG, and Ernie Gygax. He and Jim Ward created a game a few years back called Dragon Lairds. LL I believe stopped playing D&D and as Gary told me "went back to playing bridge". Although if he has written for Dragonsfoot maybe he's aware of the rise of "old school" gaming. Roger Moore was mentioned in a recent thread here. He decided to change his life after being let go from WoTC. He sold his gaming collection and stopped playing or being involved in RPGs. You might see him at GenCon, but that's more for his son's benefit. (Erik Mona I think mentioned Roger was now into the model kit hobby). Erol Otus was also involved in several computer games. The Orignal System Shock, for instance. He did some work and still hangs out at Toys for Bob, the people who created Star Control 2 (now open sourced and available for the general public as the Ur-Quan Masters). SC2 was created by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, both TSR alumni. Speaking of artists, David C. Sutherland III was let go from TSR just before it became WoTC. He ended up becoming a truck driver and had suffered from alcoholism and diabetes and got divorced. When things got really tough, the word got out to sites like this, and he was able to auction some of his original art and was able to raise 22,000.00 for his daughters before he passed away. Two sites you might want to check out if your really interested. Monte Cook did some interviews with 2nd edition alumi on his [URL="http://www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?interviews"]web site,[/URL] back in 2004 and [URL="http://grognardia.blogspot.com"]Grognardia[/URL] is trying to interview as many old schoolers as he can. I really suggest checking out both sites. [/QUOTE]
