Been a while since I've heard from Paul (lost his phone number in a cell phone mishap) and was wondered if anyone had heard how his book was going?

Aside from the Gygax biography, I keep hoping Paul will do the true history of modern FRPGs.  He is the only one who knows all the stories, and with an archeologist's training, the one who knows how to approach the material.

Been terribly busy, everyone knows the drill (you've all been in the same place).

I'd love to see this succeed.  Sounds really interesting.

I have no news to add, but will agree that those ideas are pretty cool and would make for somewhat timely biographies considering the deaths of founding members of the hobby over the last few years.

There should definitely be a Gygax biography.  He's such an important figure in the history of games that it would be criminal to not have a book about his life researched and written while many of his contemporaries are still alive and talking.
