I never thought he was the best fantasy artist, but he does go WAY back.

I feel sad for this. May David rest in peace. It was the first Roll Playing Game I have ever played and what has brought me into the world of fantasy.

Wasn't D&D a target of the Religious Right back in the day?

There were two types of kids in my high school. Those who dated girls and played sports. And those who stayed home and played dungeons and dragons.

God rest his soul, poor fellow.

Not much of an artist though.

Of all the ways for kids to waste time, Dungeons and Dragons was probably the best. Hey its better than sitting in front of a tv playing video games all day.

Damn video games killed Dungeons and Dragons!

D&D is as good as the people you find to play with. Our little group in high school was always applying our latest knowledge of math and physics to the game. My favorite:
shoot and arrow that, once in flight, quadruples in weight (due to magic)! What would happen? Would it slow down to conserve energy? We went with "It did a lot of damage". Also, I bet it added 100 points to my SAT Verbal score. Have not played since '89.

Homer: We played Dungeons and Dragons for three hours...then I was slain by an elf.
Bart: Listen to yourself man, you're hanging with nerds.
Homer: You take that back!
