Part I of my multi-part blog post series about the development of "California Gaming" in the mid-70s (since Dr. Holmes is the Patron Saint of California Gamers, I'll get to him soon). This post explores the SCA, RuneQuest, DunDraCon and The Arduin Grimoire, all created in the San Francisco Bay area.
Fantastic article (as usual). Perrin rolled a '20' on the 'Beautiful Wife Table'.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I took the liberty of posting your story on the RQ2 G+ Community and Gringle's Pawnshop:

Awesome! I've been waiting for someone from California to take this on. Love the last paragraph of your conclusion. : )
ReplyDeleteCalifornia uber alles!
ReplyDeleteMichael Thomas, thanks for the reposts! Zach H, I thought this series might be of interest to you.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE I figured I should "ask" Dr. Holmes for his thoughts on RuneQuest. Take a look at the new section added just before my conclusions.
ReplyDeleteNice addition.
