Awards Ceremony (Not From A New Hope)

     At the 2006 Origins convention, held last weekend, I was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design (AAGAD) Hall of Fame.
     Though I'm still writing the occasional role-playing game supplement, it's been about a decade since gaming was my main occupation, so it's very gratifying that I've been remembered this way.
     A full list of Origins award winners appears at GamingReport.com. I'd like to extend congratulations to all this year's winners, particularly my fellow HoF inductees: Jolly R. Blackburn, Rodger MacGowan, Dennis Mize, and Mike Pondsmith.

Well, the entire listing is on my web site, on my Game Credits page. I wrote or co-wrote 12 games/supplements for the Hero System, 16 for various flavors of D&D, a few for GURPS and other systems, scripted a computer game or two, edited a couple of gaming magazines, and so on.

   Actually, I interviewed at Sony (Austin) when Jump to Lightspeed was being put together. But their mission design tools were in-house only, and I wanted to work mostly from my own home, so it didn't work out.

   Hi from HothLanta Rebels

   Hi back at you. And I hope to see y'all at Dragon*Con.
