Right! And surely I missed several other options!!! Razz
Further suggestions are surely welcomed.
I rarely created a poll... It is possibile to amend it adding more options later?

Product vs difficulty FTW! Weeds out the players who don't know their multiplication tables. And, of course, he started it all. But no, really: check out his later stuff after he left TSR, there's some good seeds there but he didn't know what to do with it. Late Gygax (Dangerous Journeys) is like Greg Gorden from the same period (TORG): brilliant, elegant engine, nothing else. But Gorden found FASA and Earthdawn.

I've known you a long time and never had a bad thought to think about you. Except i always wondered why you chose someone elses name as your online nickname. That is not to say GG isn't a legend and great namecheck.

As to BB, you know your stuff and are a challenging opponent. With the happy habit more should aquire, that of not beating me.

Had to go with Unusual Italian, since you're one of the good guys. Wink

Also, I believe JackassRampant missed the whole question.

Honestly, whenever I see your name, I think of the "other" Gary.

I had the pleasure of meeting that Gary on several occasions. He was as nice a man as one could be while looking like a grouchy Santa Claus in a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops and dealing with over a hundred hopeless fan-boys...I was supposed to play poker with him one time, but missed the opportunity (I did later manage to win some of Steve Jackson's money! Another name probably familiar to all you old-school gamers) Smile

As for the "Fumbbl" Gary, I too wonder why you would choose such a nick... Wink

Right Purple, I missed another poll option indeed:
- How the hell you opted for that nickname?

Well... 10 years ago when I joined Fumbbl, I was still playing AD&D and it has been always a part of my life (with others RPG).
Gary Gygax is the D&D father and an ispiration, additionally I always loved how the name sounds, in short, that's why I opted for this nickname... more or less that's the story Smile

I like Gary and his flying gobbos and italian swearing. He is pretty good at this game when he tries to Smile
