There seems to be quite a bit of love for the guy among the grognards, despite WotC's de facto disavowal of everytihng that came before the latest product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-43403196109042382192010-11-21T10:43:21.722-05:002010-11-21T10:43:21.722-05:00I am amazed that no one has had word one to say on...I am amazed that no one has had word one to say on the subject of Jim Ward.<br /><br />In 1981, as I was wrapping up high school, I remember reading an old issue of POLYHEDRON that had an interview with him. I thought the guy had it utterly made. He was apparently happily married, lovely wife, several kids, and he was one of the big dogs at TSR... making an apparently comfortable living writing stuff for GAMMA WORLD, among other things.<br /><br />From the perspective of a nerdy 17 year old, I'd have cheerfully murdered anyone to be in Ward's shoes. The guy pioneered science fiction gaming in its earliest form, and steered a LOT of early Dungeons and Dragons development.<br /><br />There is no love for the guy out there?Tom O'Bedlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821487402927475042noreply@blogger.com
