TSR was once the Amoeba that swallowed SPI, so it has a certain circular
irony to it. (for the non-intialized (initiated on initials): Tactical
Studies Rules and Simulations Publications, Inc.)

Which is now a subsidiary of Hasbro.

Being a long-time GURPS (oh geez, now I gotta explain more initials to the
looky-loos: Generic Universal Role Playing System) fan, I'm glad Evil Stevie
is still around, but starting out a 10 year old in GURPs is a bit difficult.
There's something to be said for handing him some dice, giving him a few
odds and ends to start with, and letting him go.
Still have my 1st edition brown-box (no A)D&D(no TM)! My 27 year old
20-sided die takes about that long to stop rolling it's gotten so round. :-)
