A 70s student grant wasn't a debt sentence. You could gorge on luxuries such as instant-coffee and the newly invented Pot Noodle, with enough left over for academic texts like 'The Dark Tower'. Graeme Davis on the module pile of shame. When Dice Were Made of Flint, part 5. #Gaming #History #graemeDavis #dnd #whenDiceWereMadeOfFlint

Graeme Davis took the graph paper route, an unbounded system with no documentation, orcs on the outer levels and an evil wizard running as root. Both got pwn3d by teenagers. #graemeDavis #whenDiceWereMadeOfFlint #gamingHistory #dungeonsAndDragons

Punk was a dying whimper in San Francisco and London had a whole other scene going, one that met on Hanway Street rather than the Roxy. Graeme Davis was there, and he's back every day this week with the new column 'When Dice Were Made of Flint' #GraemeDavis #gaming #History #gamesWorkshop
