Allen sez, "A miniatures gamer named Arnold Hendrick wrote this 1974 review of a brand-new game called "Dungeons & Dragons." The review is actually perceptive in its judgments, yet misses badly by minimizing the originality of the roleplaying concept. (Hendrick went on to run Heritage Miniatures in the 1980s and to design some interesting fantasy boardgames for Heritage's short-lived game line.)"

(Thanks, Allen!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
