Run For The Hills

Hmmmm, well I seem to have lost my job and my marriage in the space of a couple of weeks - can't say more than that as Tribunal may be in the offing and its all up in the air. Other than that its the usual chaos and mayhem; I'm managing to avoid crawling into a bottle, and have plenty of good people to keep me distracted, so just taking things a day at a time for now.

In other news - a little late I realise - I'd like to acknowledge the passing of Gary Gygax, arguably the creator of fantasy roleplay in the form of Dungeons and Dragons and all that was inspired by and followed on from it - up to and including computer RPGs and MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Mass Effect. Like the other great originator of ideas in a favourite area of mine - Jack Kirby in the field of comic books - I guess I always had this illusion that he would always be knocking around somewhere in the background, if only heckling like the old gents in the Muppet Show.

RIP Gary Gygax - forever Rolling in his grave
