Are you sure those nights were wasted? I learned a whole bunch about the power of mythology and imagination, about inter-personal relations, imagination, problem solving as a team, leadership, about fanzine publishing, ("News from Bree") and probability and chance. It was one evening out of the pub whilst working away from home whilst on contract. Like MJ it was an example of what a small band of like minded individuals can achive, from having fun to an international business. There are at present two shops in my home town selling little lead figures of mythical creatures.
And I can imagine: "
Gary, are you wasting your time with that stupid game again...."
