Something Amazing Just Happened

[Methais]

You probably have but just don't know it because how the fuck do you bring up a 30 year old text based RPG in regular conversation with a stranger?

The same way Marcus Brody would:

Haha that's fucked. He must be looking ultra scraggly these days if you didn't recognize him (I'm just assuming you knew what he looked like).

He unfriended me on fb after Trump won so I can only speculate. Always got along until then but whatever. Crazy shit either way running into him like that.

I've never been to simucon or socialized with any of you people on facebook or anywhere. He insisted he recognized me from somewhere but unless they kept a poster of me near the toilet at Simutronics I don't see how, he may have just seen me locally. He first asked if I graduated from the high school he did. So no, I didn't recognize him.

That is an awesome story. How did he feel when you told him Gemstone IV is pretty much online slots nowadays?

HE talked mostly about the backstory between him and david about the simucoin launch then I had to run because my son was begging for lunch. I'll probably get lunch with him someday though and get more details.

I don't know anyone in real life who plays this game, but it would be cool to run into anyone randomly who does...much less a GM or something. What a cool story!

What really strikes me is I spent a lot of time in Chattanooga (I grew up there in the 70's and I visit there many times every couple of years). I live in North Alabama, so Chattanooga isn't too far away from me. :P

It may be a small world, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to paint it!

Very cool.

So I ask him, how he went from game design to soaps. He says he wasn't getting along with his boss, his boss thought he could do his job better than him, kept changing his mind on things, was just hard to work for, etc. So he came back to Chattanooga where he is from. So I asked him what company it was. He says Simutronics.

Game design? Did Solomon actually do much designing? He struck me as the type of guy who listened to ideas from his underlings and chose the best ones and told everyone to get to work on them.

But I don't know for sure, maybe he was just more subtle about the work he did and didn't try to make himself the center of attention at all times.

He might have in DR, that was where he came from.

Who was the boss he mentioned? I assumed it was from quite a ways back.

Probably Whatley.

How long has he been a member of fight club though?
