The golden age of bands such as the Rolling Stones. Many bands have a brief golden age that defines their careers-such as Fleetwood Mac and Rumours.Among writers there is often a short period where they make their reputation. Even Shakespeare has a considerable amount of bad content.If we extend this to Gygax, he had around 7 years of good content and then kept producing with things like Gord the Rogue and the Canting Crew; while these had some merit, he was never able to produce hits of the scale of his "golden age" of Against the Giants or Barrier Peaks.</blockquote>
