[QUOTE="grodog, post: 3753304, member: 1613"] At the tender age of 10, I learned to play Gangbusters at Origins 1980 with Gary, though I did'nt know it was him at the time---I recognized his picture some years later on an insert in a Grenadier box set. We played in a pub (I think) on campus dubbed "The Hobbit" and it was an open gaming/demos area. GB was sufficient fun to convince my friend to buy the game so we could play it back at home, but beyond that I have no specific Gygaxian recollections :D Later, in 1987 at DragonCon #1, I met Rob and almost played with he and Gary in the final round of Rob's RPGA "(To the) City of Brass" tourney. Our team won the event, and I gather that's likely because Rob and Gary wanted to kill off the PCs in the round they were judging so they could go hit the bar it closed ;-> [/QUOTE]
