Anders,
I found it somehow hilarious visualizing in my mind one of the most
intelligent individuals I know of playing the "Marvel Superhero's"
role-playing game! Even in my highschool the game was scoffed at for
being crudely simple in design, nothing compared to "Champions"
or "DC Hero's". But I still loved that game! I am to this day a
huge Marvel and X-Men fan, and the simple game mechanics were fine by
me.
I remember creating my characters for my game and wishing that I
could have personal attributes and powers like they had. I think
moments like those put me on the road toward extropianism.
It's cool to me that you were able to take an old game like that and
use it in a way to put new life in it. I bet your a fun gamemaster
to have run a campaign. It has been years since I played an rpg!
The game that is very hot right now in the states is called "Rifts".
I love to pour over the supplement books for it, soaking in the
gorgeous artwork and beautifully designed stories and character
classes. Watch out for the Coalition State, I hear they are about to
go on the march!
Anyway, I want to say Anders that I love your website. I was amazed
my the scale and breadth of it. Maybe if I can make it from Alaska
to California this summer for the Extro I could actually meet you in
person. My ancestors on my father's side came from Sweden and
Norway, though I don't a word in either language, take care!
Sincerely,
John Grigg
