Here's an interesting thing. I was poking around GameSpy, as you do, when I came upon an old <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/legacy/interviews/spector_a.shtm">interview with Warren Spector</a>. The interviewer gets Warren on the subject of his influences, and in the long list that follows he says:
Quote:
Then there was Wildcards author, Walton Simons, for joining me in obsessive board gaming back in the late 70s and for arranging an invitation for me to play in Bruce Sterling's D&D campaign.
Wow. And I always thought Walton Simons = Warren Spector! But no, he actually exists. You learn something new every day ;)

Interesting memorial to give a friend.
"Yeah, he was a great guy, so I made a super villan with his name as a memorial."

That is very interesting information. Thanks.

So Spector used to play D&D with Bruce Sterling? He must have been really interested in RPGs.
He is also listed as playtester on GURPS Basic Set, 3. Ed.

Perhaps I should add "...who you kill". I don't think kibbed = phun ;)
