On the inside front cover of Analog was this ad for a cool-sounding game: Chitin from Metagaming. Wow, that sounded cool. No toy store I called had any idea what I was talking about. Huh. Purely on chance, I looked up 'games' in the phone book and found what turned out to be the local gaming store. I called them. They had it!I go there. Through the open door to the back room I see a guy I know from the science fiction club I'm in. I wander over to see what's going on. He gives a brief explanation, and I roll up a magic-user. 15 minutes later he's dead, his brains sucked out by the nine mind flayers that ambush the five-man 1-2nd level party. Couldn't wait to play more.</blockquote>
