[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 1590382, member: 9045"] *Nods* I think most everyone here's on the same page. EGG is The Man because we're all here on the road he started building. Gary put it all together in the end (even if he didn't do it alone, he was the face on the masthead), he tried to watchguard the quality of it, he was the PR man. Before he lost control He made the D&D cartoon happen (and the cartoon, along with the D&D ads in comics, are what initially hooked Me). Everywhere you look, when the RPG field was being pushed, helped, hyped, or encouranged, you seem to find Gary. Now all these years later, I strongly disagree with the man on nearly every aspect of RPG theory, but I Respect the man.. because I'm here on the road he started building. Sure, someone else might have done it, but they didn't. Gary did. As far as this Garfield guy goes... I was into M:tG for about a year, after which I developed a sudden and overpowering hatred of the game and anyone who played it through a combination of my own personal experiences with game stores and players of the game. Aside from the info given in this thread, I never heard of the guy. But if he's a near-unknown among the players of the game he created, I feel for the guy for missing some good-will that Gary definately gets. [/QUOTE]
