[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 278936, member: 1288"] My wife and I went to Office Max today, to get the wheels turning on a run of business cards. (I've decided to have some cards printed up for GenCon and other industry gatherings.) The guy who was helping us was an older guy, heavy gray beard. So we're chatting for a while, and we're telling him what we want on the card. One of the lines reads "Freelance fiction & RPG writer." And he makes a comment about RPG usually referring to a programming language. I tell him that, in this instance, it refers to roleplaying games. And he says, "Oh, yeah, I know. I was one of the first generation of fantasy gamers. I still have a copy of Chainmail." Not, he meant, the new Chainmail miniatures game. The original. Can I just say... Damn, that's cool, just running into a guy like this at Office Max, of all places. I knew there was a reason I liked Austin. :) (Of course, these days he mostly plays GURPS, but you can't have everything...) :D [/QUOTE]
