On my Mom:
In 1979 I picked up a game called Dungeons and Dragons at the University of Illinois. It became very popular at school and I wanted to try out DMing before running a campaign. Mom created a whole party using character names from Tolkein and we both became "fantasy freaks" from that time until I moved out of the house. When computers came out we bought a Vic20/C64/IBM and started playing Collosal Caves,Quest, and finally the SSI games: Questron, Phantasie, etc. We always had something to talk about on the phone because we'd play crpgs at the same time. She was a very good friend, who just happened to be my Mom too.
She was a smoker though, and she got pancreatic cancer. This generally kills very fast but we got almost two years with her because she went into remission for 19 months. Once the cancer ramped up again she was gone in 2 months.
P.S. Did you guys notice my register date? [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm a lurker.
