“A Fantasy Game For Fanatics” in 1979
There was a time, decades ago, when the Dungeons & Dragons game (find at Amazon.com*) was in the news. And in the news a lot. You see, in the late seventies and early eighties, D&D was constantly increasing in sales, and there were groups opposed to the game. Fortunately, there were also positive news pieces about the game. Pieces like this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story by Rob Joseph.
What makes this article really stand out, though, is that the author interviews one player involved in the game, Jeff Grubb. Grubb may have been just a player at the time, but today you can take a look at Grubb’s author page on Amazon.com* to see just how much he has contributed to roleplaying games since 1979.
