Abandoned
Since infogami has been abandoned by its creators, I’m out too. Back to web.fisher.cx for me. Everything that was here is there.

It is a mistake to think that role playing was a sudden innovation. Even before the Braunsteins & Blackmoor, wargamers would role play their parts.
- "hobby games" a better name for the industry than "wargames"
- Avalon Hill
- SPI
- GDW
- TSR
- Careers (influenced Wesely's Braunstein games)
- Civilization
- Diplomacy
- Kingmaker
- Magic Realm
- Outdoor Survival ("required" by oD&D!)
Dungeon! was created after Arneson ran the first Blackmoor dungeon. The game, in turn, influenced the Blackmoor campaign to head back into the dungeon.
I used to think of D&D (i.e. classic & advanced) as being overly combat centric. When you compare classic D&D to a game like TFT, though... (or even D&D3e)
- TFT
- MK
- D&D3e
