Re: Age and Complexity

Well, I did my bit to try and pass the torch.

I have a nephew, which my sister describes as being
just like me.

So, recently when they visited, I arrived with presents.

<whip out a copy of Starfire>
Here is a neat-o keen-o game about interstellar battlefleets
having galactic wars.  It so impressed an SF author named
David Weber...

<whip out a copy of Weber & White's novel CRUSADE>
...that he wrote this book.  It so impressed the
makers of Starfire...

<whip out a copy of the Crusade supplement for Starfire>
...that they made it into an expansion of the Starfire game.

I also gave him a copy of Ogre... which I autographed. <grin>
