This, I think, is sorely needed to counteract all the revisionist thinking that is out there.

I see you have been a busy fellow! Moving across an ocean wasn't enough to keep you busy?

This, I think, is sorely needed to counteract all the revisionist thinking that is out there. I could not agree more with this sentiment. As the article notes there's way to much one-sideness, lack of comprehensive sourcing and assumptive fill-in going on in D&D's and Arneson's history. The book, DAVE ARNESON'S TRUE GENIUS, that is finished at 20,000+ words will set the matter straight in large part and expose some major avenues totally missed in Dave's design philosophy as well. A New Ethos in Game Design will put the matters above at rest for good, as well as re-enlighten those interested in the full breadth of what Dave gifted to us.

I see you have been a busy fellow! Moving across an ocean wasn't enough to keep you busy? I was a little delayed getting from point A to B to C, so what you see as busy is actually several things that were being worked on in concert at the same time coming to fruition at once. I seem to do this a lot and have been, over the years, criticized at many different times for either being out of the industry, etc, due to this work habit, only to have such critics shut up afterwards when I release three projects at the same time (I've done that more than once). Getting married and moving to a different country will tend to energize one's efforts as well, especially if your companion is bilingual and an excellent writer!
