I graduated in 99’ from the all-encompassing “Digital Media” program they had at the time, so I would have been free to game away! I think I met him at UFC, where FS had rented out a room for the lecture. (The FS campus was a fraction of the size it is now.)
I live near Deland, on the other side of Orlando, although my work has me traveling away for months at a time (I wire up studios & data centers) Blows my mind that I never heard he was teaching there. I would have gone back to audit some of his lectures. We only spoke for maybe 15min afterwards, but I liked him immediately, & I’ve always remembered it fondly.
Oh well! I’ve been enjoying the site immensely!
Especially the stories about those 1st games. Seeing how everyone worked out how to mold, shape, & ignore the “rules” to improve play isn’t just educational & edifying...it’s hard to describe...the experiences mirror the development of so many of us later player & dms...it’s unifying? Fraternal? Maybe it’s like getting to sit down with the Founding Fathers & getting to hear about how the Revolutionary War & how the founding of the nation really took place. Seems like a poor analogy, but it’s just incredibly interesting!
I’ll probably be lurking until I have something worthwhile to say.
