Michael Mornard, who was a regular player in Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson's OD&D campaigns is a regular contributor. He posts under the handle "gronanofsimmerya."
Jon Peterson who wrote THE book on the history of D&D also posts there using the handle "increment." Also check out the blog he setup for his book, Playing At The World, at http://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/ http://playingattheworld.blogspot.com/
- deveac 13y agoUsed to game with John in the nineties. I don't think his contribution to documenting the history of the game can be overstated, and that will probably only ring more true in the future. Playing At The World is kind of an amazing book.
- greatquux 13y agoCompletely agree. I've never played D&D and I bought the book after reading a review, but didn't realize that D&D would be the lens or focal point through which the history of wargaming and world-simulation would be focused. But it's a fabulous book, and a breath of fresh air to read a well-organized and researched non-fiction history like this one.
